President Joe Biden will meet with Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego and San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg as both cities have dealt with a hot summer thus far.
On a day millions are being told to take precautions due to extreme heat, the White House is announcing several measures on Thursday to combat rising temperatures.
"The Department of Labor will provide information on what employers can and should be doing now to protect their workers, help ensure employees are aware of their rights, including protections against retaliation, and highlight the steps the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is currently taking to protect workers," the White House said.
The White House added it plans to allocate up to $7 million to the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration to improve forecasting. On Tuesday, the Northern Hemisphere reached the hottest average temperature recorded by NOAA. Officials say human-caused climate change has led to more extreme heat, and the situation is likely to get worse before getting better.
