The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will hold a virtual summit on extreme heat preparedness Monday, DHS announced Thursday.

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas and FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell will host local community leaders, who are set to offer pointers on extreme heat resilience strategies.

“As extreme heat, worsened by the climate crisis, threatens the lives, safety, and security of communities everywhere, the Biden-Harris Administration is working across all levels of government to ensure communities have resources to protect the public and our nation’s critical infrastructure,” Mayorkas said in a statement.

Invite NASA/JPL and ESA to explain how the Jan. 2022 Tonga Volcano undersea eruption blew Trillions of gallons of water vapor into the atmosphere, causing the current heat wave that will take a few years to dissipate.

Water Vapor comprises 95% of Greenhouse gases. CO2 is less than 3.5%.

Yes it's summer.

August has been more like September in New England this year.

[Seruzawa]

Uh, dudes. Heat wave is over.

We have not had a super hot summer in Georgia either except for this week. Next Thursday and Friday the forecast is calling for a high of 78° which is unseasonably cool. We are supposed to get a frigid winter here this year.

How about no restrictions on nat gas and coal to generate plenty of electricity to power our air conditioners.

[9YearLurker]

If anything is true, our government doesn’t bother saying it.

[ken in texas]

I’ll gladly send you some heat from North Texas if you’d like some. ;-)

[Eagles6]

We’ve had a rather moderate summer, even cool, here in southwest PA.

[logi_cal869]

Yes, because they must distract the peasants from the real issues (inflation, elections, senility, tyranny, etc.).

FEMA had an opportunity to notice extreme heat in Maui...
