Smoke and Heat Ready Communities Act of 2025

This bill would let the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) give money to air pollution control agencies so they can help local communities prepare for, detect, and deal with wildfire smoke and extreme heat. It would also create four research centers at colleges or universities to study how wildfire smoke and extreme heat affect people's health and how communities can better handle those situations. The EPA would be required to research health effects, improve tools for monitoring and predicting smoke and heat, and come up with ways to help people and communities reduce their exposure. The bill also sets up a separate grant program where states and other groups can apply for funding to create community plans for dealing with wildfire smoke and extreme heat.
