Referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.
This resolution expresses the House's support for recognizing May 3 through May 9, 2026, as Wildfire Preparedness Week and endorses related public education and preparedness goals. It is a simple resolution introduced and considered only in the House of Representatives and does not create binding federal law or require federal funding. Its effect is symbolic and informational: it signals the House's priorities and encourages awareness and voluntary action by communities, agencies, and individuals.
This House resolution expresses support for recognizing May 3–9, 2026, as Wildfire Preparedness Week.
It highlights wildfire impacts, human-caused ignitions, smoke health risks, firefighter exposures, and recent wildfire statistics.
The resolution endorses public education, prevention measures, early warning systems, evacuation planning (including animals), vegetation management, and community financial support during and after major fires.
As a House simple resolution, it expresses support but does not create binding law; passage in the House is likely but it will not become statute.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill functions as a straightforward commemorative resolution: it clearly defines the observance and rationale and uses appropriately limited legislative language (expressions of support and encouragement) without attempting to create binding obligations or new authorities.
