HRES 913 United States House · 117th Congress

Expressing support for the designation of February 6 to 12, 2022, as "National Burn Awareness Week".

This resolution expresses support for designating February 6-12, 2022, as "National Burn Awareness Week," organized by the American Burn Association. It aims to raise public awareness about burn prevention - highlighting kitchen safety as the 2022 theme - and encourages government agencies, fire safety organizations, healthcare providers, and the public to participate in related activities. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but formally endorses an existing annual awareness initiative focused on reducing burn injuries, which disproportionately affect children and vulnerable groups. It references statistics on burn injuries and emphasizes the importance of prevention education and survivor support.
