Expressing support for the recognition of May 3 through May 9, 2026, as Wildfire Preparedness Week, the national event educating the public on fire safety and preparedness, and supporting the goals of a Wildfire Preparedness Week.

H.Res. 1291 is a non-binding resolution that formally recognizes May 3 through May 9, 2026, as Wildfire Preparedness Week. The bill aims to raise public awareness about wildfire risks and promote educational initiatives regarding fire safety and evacuation planning. It highlights the dangers of smoke exposure for both the general public and firefighters while noting that human activity causes the majority of wildland fires. This measure does not change laws or allocate funding, but rather expresses the House of Representatives' support for these preparedness goals.
