Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 2025, as Wildfire Safety Awareness Month in the State of New York

This Senate Resolution (J 71) requests Governor Hochul to officially designate May 2025 as "Wildfire Safety Awareness Month" in New York State. It aims to increase public awareness about wildfire prevention and preparedness, aligning with National Wildfire Awareness Month. The resolution does not create new laws or requirements; it is a symbolic request to the governor to issue a proclamation encouraging New Yorkers to adopt safety practices like using fire-resistant materials and following safe fire-handling protocols. All New Yorkers are the indirect audience for this awareness effort.
