Designating May 2025 as "National Wildfire Preparedness Month".

HRES 467 designates May 2025 as "National Wildfire Preparedness Month" to raise public awareness about wildfire risks and encourage existing community safety practices. It does not create new laws or allocate funding but urges federal, state, local, tribal, and community organizations to promote educational initiatives on wildfire prevention. Key focus areas include home hardening (using fire-resistant materials), community planning for firefighter access, evacuation strategies, and reducing human-caused ignitions like fireworks. The resolution emphasizes preparing for increasingly severe wildfire seasons, citing statistics on rising fire frequency and costs. This symbolic designation applies broadly to all U.S. communities facing wildfire threats.
