Recognizing and honoring the first responders and those who lost their lives in the Maui wildfires in August 2023 that affected thousands of people.

HRES 752 is a symbolic resolution honoring those impacted by the August 2023 Maui wildfires, which caused 97 confirmed deaths, destroyed over 2,200 structures, and displaced thousands. It specifically recognizes first responders who risked their lives during the disaster and pays tribute to the 97 individuals who lost their lives. The resolution expresses support for Maui communities’ recovery efforts and urges broader wildfire prevention awareness, but it does not create new policies, allocate funding, or impose legal obligations. As a commemorative resolution, it serves only to acknowledge the tragedy and resilience without direct policy impact.
