Democrat · NY-26
What H.R. 3106 does
H.R. 3106 would require the Department of Homeland Security to develop and run an exercise on how the country would prepare for and respond to a terrorist attack during an extreme cold weather event, such as a polar vortex. The scenario would involve an attack with cascading effects on critical infrastructure and would address how public and private groups can coordinate to limit the damage and strengthen community resilience.
Within 60 days of finishing the exercise, the department would send Congress an after-action report with its initial findings, plans for applying the lessons, and any proposed legislative changes.
