Expressing support for the recognition of July 3 through July 10, 2026, as National Extreme Heat Awareness Week, a national event educating the public on the dangers of extreme heat and the risks of extreme heat events to public safety, infrastructure, agriculture, and much more, and supporting the goals of a National Extreme Heat Awareness Week.

H. Res. 1361 is legislation introduced in the House that expresses support for recognizing July 3 through July 10, 2026, as "National Extreme Heat Awareness Week." It says the week should educate the public about the dangers of extreme heat and its risks to public safety, infrastructure, agriculture, and more. The resolution encourages research, policies, public awareness efforts, and community activities to help people understand and prepare for extreme heat. This matters because extreme heat can cause death, illness, and work disruptions, especially for people who spend time outdoors or lack safe cooling.
