H.R. 3106 (119th): Weatherizing Infrastructure in the North and Terrorism Emergency Readiness Act of 2025

Weatherizing Infrastructure in the North and Terrorism Emergency Readiness Act of 2025 This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to develop and conduct an exercise to enhance collective domestic preparedness for and response to a terrorist attack during an extreme cold weather event (e.g., an event caused by a polar vortex when Arctic air expands southward). The scenario in the exercise must involve a terrorist attack causing cascading effects on critical infrastructure (i.e., systems and assets of vital importance to national security, public health, or safety) and must address how public and private entities can coordinate to mitigate such effects and bolster community resilience. Within 60 days after completion of the exercise, DHS must submit to Congress an after-action report including the initial findings of the exercise, plans for incorporating lessons learned into future operations, and any proposed legislative changes.

Summary

Recorded summary

Requires DHS to develop and conduct an exercise simulating a terrorist attack during an extreme cold weather event, with cascading effects on critical infrastructure, and to coordinate public and private response and community resilience. Within 60 days after the exercise, DHS must submit an after-action report to Congress with initial findings, plans to apply lessons learned, and any proposed legislative changes. The summary does not mention new appropriations.

Theological note: Civil preparedness to protect neighbors and essential systems from attack and to limit cascading harm falls under the general equity of care for the community. The measure concerns prudent stewardship of public safety rather than a direct moral act, so its relevance is ordinary governance under the civil ruler's duty to protect the people.
