# 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.

Roll 234: On Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass. Vote type: final_passage.
Polarity rationale: Reviewed enrichment (llm_import) polarity: The bill pursues a real public-safety good by preparing for terrorist harm to infrastructure, but it is a prudential governance measure with no direct advancement of moral evil and no clear operative funding or military authorization in the summary. The existing war_funding and appropriations tags are not supported by the text provided, so the existing mixed rating rests on weak tagging rather than the operative content.
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.
