What it does
The Extreme Heat Emergency Act of 2025 would amend the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act to include extreme temperature as a qualifying condition for a major disaster declaration, placing it before the existing reference to drought in the definition. This change would allow federal disaster assistance to be triggered by extreme heat events, affecting communities and governments seeking aid during such emergencies. The bill specifies that no additional funds are authorized for implementing this change.
