A resolution observing the 1-year anniversary of the 2025 Southern California wildfires.

This resolution commemorates the one-year anniversary of the devastating 2025 Southern California wildfires, which erupted on January 7, 2025, burning nearly 60,000 acres, causing 31 fatalities, and destroying over 16,000 structures. These fires, exacerbated by extreme Santa Ana winds, displaced over 200,000 residents and are considered one of the costliest natural disasters in U.S. history. The resolution specifically honors and remembers those who lost their lives and recognizes and commends the bravery of the more than 7,500 first responders and volunteers who risked their lives to combat the fires and assist victims. These responders came from various agencies across California, other states, and even international partners. Finally, the Senate affirms its commitment to supporting the continued rebuilding process in communities like Pacific Palisades and Altadena, emphasizing the need for ongoing coordination among Federal, State, and local authorities to provide necessary relief and support to those affected.
