Whereas Wildfire Preparedness Week increases awareness of the threat of wildfires and knowledge of lifesaving tactics; Whereas Wildfire Preparedness Week, like other designated weeks or days for natural disasters, promotes educational initiatives, encourages community programming, and increases overall knowledge and preparedness; Whereas the effects of long-term exposure to wildfire smoke will harm more people, as particle pollution triggers asthma attacks, heart attacks, and strokes, and can kill; Whereas firefighters are on the frontlines and are at an increased risk of developing cancer and respiratory diseases because they are exposed to smoke and hazardous chemicals in the line of duty; Whereas, in 2024, 64,897 wildfires burned in the United States, consuming a total of 8,924,884 acres, and in California there were 8,024 wildfires that burned for a total of 1,050,012 acres; Whereas nearly 85 percent of wildland fires in the United States are caused by humans; Whereas, so far in 2025, 8,005 wildfires have burned 168,4768 acres across the United States, which is above the 10-year average of 5,753 wildfires; Whereas the United States experienced a large number of wildfires from West Coast to East Coast; Whereas preventative measures exist to help individuals and communities increase their fire resilience through— (1) evacuation planning and assistance for people and their animals; (2) vegetation and forest management; and (3) limited use of combustibles during high heat or drier seasons, including fireworks, exhaust, and open flames; and Whereas we commit to working together to financially support communities directly during and after a catastrophic firestorm: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) supports the goals of Wildfire Preparedness Week; (2) supports resources and educational initiatives that communicate how affected communities can take preventative measures such as instituting early warning systems and reducing unplanned human ignitions, as well as how to safely and efficiently evacuating people and their animals; and (3) encourages increased awareness of and preparedness for the threat of wildfires and subsequent suppression efforts.

Whereas May 5, or Cinco de Mayo in Spanish, is celebrated each year as a date of importance by Mexican and Mexican-American communities; Whereas the Cinco de Mayo holiday commemorates May 5, 1862, the date on which Mexicans defeated the French at the Battle of Puebla, 1 of the many battles that the Mexican people won in their long and brave fight for independence, freedom, and democracy; Whereas the victory of Mexico over France at the Battle of Puebla represented a historic triumph for the Mexican government during the Franco-Mexican war, fought between 1861 and 1867, and bolstered the resistance movement; Whereas the success of Mexico at the Battle of Puebla reinvigorated the spirits of the Mexican people and provided a renewed sense of unity and strength; Whereas the French army, which had not experienced defeat against any of the finest troops of Europe in more than half a century, sustained a disastrous loss at the hands of an outnumbered and ill-equipped, but highly spirited and courageous, Mexican army; Whereas the courageous spirit that Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza and his men displayed during the historic Battle of Puebla can never be forgotten; Whereas, in a larger sense, Cinco de Mayo symbolizes the right of a free people to self-determination, just as Benito Juarez, the president of Mexico during the Battle of Puebla, once said, El respeto al derecho ajeno es la paz , meaning respect for the rights of others is peace ; Whereas the sacrifice of Mexican fighters was instrumental in keeping Mexico from falling under European domination while, in the United States, the Union Army battled Confederate forces in the Civil War; and Whereas Cinco de Mayo— (1) serves as a reminder that the foundation of the United States was built by people from many countries and diverse cultures who were willing to fight and die for freedom; (2) serves as a reminder of the close ties between the people of Mexico and the people of the United States; (3) encourages the celebration of a legacy of strong leaders and a sense of vibrancy in communities; and (4) serves as a reminder to provide more opportunity for future generations: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) recognizes the historic struggle of the people of Mexico for independence and freedom, which Cinco de Mayo commemorates; and (2) encourages the people of the United States to observe Cinco de Mayo with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

That the House of Representatives— (1) supports the designation of NKH Awareness Day ; and (2) recognizes the importance of raising awareness and improving education around nonketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH).
