Extreme Weather and Heat Response Modernization Act directs FEMA to review incident periods and extreme weather impacts.

The Extreme Weather and Heat Response Modernization Act mandates the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to review processes and procedures for determining incident periods for emergencies or major disasters. FEMA must convene an advisory panel to consider incident periods for various types of disasters, including slow onset, correlated non-contiguous, compound, and cascading disasters. The act also requires FEMA to issue guidance on extreme temperature events and conduct a study on the impact of extreme heat and cold, including recommendations for mitigation and response strategies.
