Recognizing the threat of extreme weather to children's health and well-being, and expressing the sense of Congress that solutions must be rapidly and equitably developed and deployed to address the unique vulnerabilities and needs of children.

H. Res. 585 is a House resolution introduced to recognize the threats that extreme weather and associated air quality pose to the health and well-being of babies, children, and adolescents. It states that solutions must be developed and deployed rapidly and equitably, with particular attention to the unique physical and mental health vulnerabilities of youth and pregnant people. While it has no enforceable provisions or funding on its own, the resolution articulates a policy direction and a broad set of recommended measures (A–P) that Congress and federal agencies could pursue in future legislation, rulemaking, or programs to better prepare for and respond to extreme heat, wildfires, air pollution, and related disasters. The bill emphasizes several themes: timely, accessible information; support networks for families and caregivers; language and culturally appropriate outreach; integration of child-specific considerations into professional training and disaster planning; improvements to school, home, and health-care infrastructure; and expanded safe spaces, resources, and supplies for children and families during and after extreme weather events. It explicitly links climate- and pollution-related extremes to school disruption, health outcomes, and mental well-being, and it calls for tailored, equitable solutions that address both current and future generations.
