Local governments are developing law and policy solutions to help protect individuals from extreme heat at home. This is particularly important as extreme heat at home can have harmful effects for a wide range of populations, including workers that have been exposed to extreme heat at work, pregnant people, young people, aging populations, and people with certain medical conditions. 🔗 𝘏𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘗𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘊𝘢𝘯 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘣𝘢𝘵 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 𝘐𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘌𝘹𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘵, 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘉𝘦 𝘗𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘙𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘦 𝘜𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴, by the Network's Deputy Director of Climate and Health, Betsy Lawton, J.D., out now: https://lnkd.in/e4hyvSDz

The [Texas] Legislature... reined in the amount of time the state can remain under a public health disaster or emergency authorization. These declarations, intended to allow the state government to respond more nimbly to a crisis, can now only remain in effect for 30 days, after which the Legislature or a legislative committee would have to renew it monthly. “It's just this... level of bureaucracy that I am afraid is not going to be helpful for us in the next pandemic,” said Allison Winnike, a Houston-based lawyer with the Network for Public Health Law. “Our public health system will have its hands completely tied.” 🔗 Read the full article, 𝘈𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘊𝘖𝘝𝘐𝘋, 𝘛𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘤, in the The Texas Tribune, here: https://lnkd.in/eB9jGD3u #EmergencyPreparedness #Pandemic
