Extreme heat is our leading weather-related killer, and the climate crisis is putting more people in harm’s way. That’s why today, the President is announcing an interagency response to protect our workers and communities. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
Millions of U.S. workers are exposed to heat on the job. @USDOL's new initiative on occupational heat exposure will protect both indoor and outdoor workers in agriculture, construction, delivery services, warehouses, factories, kitchens, and more. apnews.com/article/busine…
Extreme heat poses higher risks to our children, seniors, low-income communities, and communities of color. Agencies including @HHSGov, @EPA, @NOAA, @DHSgov, & @USDA are working to provide cooling assistance, support local resilience efforts, and advance environmental justice.
Our Administration’s new Interagency Working Group on Extreme Heat will carry these efforts forward – and through our #BuildBackBetter Agenda, we’ll make historic investments to support resilient communities and protect against climate-related impacts like extreme heat.
