What it does
This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to design and run a large-scale emergency exercise simulating a terrorist attack on critical infrastructure during an extreme cold weather event (like a polar vortex). The exercise must test how federal, state, local, and private-sector responders would manage cascading failures across power, water, communications, and other essential services. DHS must report findings and recommendations to Congress within 60 days.
