Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 118th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Extreme Weather and Heat Response Modernization Act
This bill requires the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to specifically address extreme heat in hazard mitigation and disaster recovery, including reviewing the time frame for when extreme weather is an emergency or major disaster.
FEMA must issue guidance relating to hazard mitigation and disaster recovery for extreme heat or extreme temperature events. FEMA must also convene an advisory panel to review its process for determining when an emergency- or disaster-causing incident begins and ends. Additionally, FEMA must conduct a study on the impacts of extreme heat, recommend guidance on mitigating and responding to extreme heat, and submit a report to Congress on these actions.
The bill also authorizes FEMA to consider extreme heat preparedness and mitigation projects eligible under its Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program and Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.
