A resolution designating May 2025 as "National Wildfire Preparedness Month".

SRES 247 designates May 2025 as "National Wildfire Preparedness Month" to raise awareness about wildfire risks across the United States. The resolution highlights increasing wildfire frequency, scale, and human causes (85% of wildland fires), while emphasizing preventative measures like fire-resistant construction, community planning, evacuation readiness, vegetation management, and reducing human ignitions. It encourages federal, state, local, tribal, and community efforts to promote preparedness through education and resources. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but aims to foster nationwide awareness and adoption of proven fire mitigation practices.
