## Resource

Las Vegas just shattered heat records in March—temperatures soared 20-30 degrees above normal, with one station hitting 98°F. This isn’t an anomaly; it’s the new normal in Southern Nevada, where extreme heat already kills more people than hurricanes, floods, or tornadoes combined. Congresswoman Dina Titus is pushing a bipartisan bill to declare extreme heat a national disaster, unlocking FEMA funding for cooling centers, water access, and infrastructure repairs. While political hurdles loom, local efforts are ramping up: Clark County’s cooling centers are expanding, RTC is using heat maps to target investments, and a state bill aims to stop utility shut-offs during summer. The message is clear: heat is the deadliest emergency—and it’s time we treat it like one. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
