Final Approval

This bill proposes to recognize the week of May 3 through May 9, 2026, as Wildfire Preparedness Week. The goal is to educate the public about fire safety and how to be prepared for wildfires. This week would feature events, campaigns, and information aimed at helping people stay safe during wildfire season.

Wildfire Preparedness Week would affect everyone living in areas at risk for wildfires, particularly those in California where wildfires are common. By educating people on safety measures and preparedness, the bill aims to reduce the impact of wildfires on communities, properties, and lives.

As of now, the bill was introduced on May 14, 2026, and has been referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources. It is in the early stages of the legislative process, and the committee will review and potentially make changes before it can move forward for a vote.
