Occurrences
Evidence
Torres reintroduced a bipartisan, bicameral resolution to strengthen wildfire preparedness and protect communities nationwide, designating May 2026 as National Wildfire Preparedness Month and urging proactive steps for increasingly severe wildfire seasons.
Torres introduced a resolution to designate May 3-9, 2026 as National Wildfire Preparedness Week, aimed at raising awareness of fire safety and prevention and encouraging families and communities to take proactive steps to reduce wildfire risks.
Assessments
Torres publicly advocated wildfire preparedness in office by introducing resolutions in 2026 that urged proactive preparedness steps and raised awareness about fire safety. That is a direct match for the claim’s promise to advocate for vegetation management, evacuation planning, and limiting combustibles during high-heat seasons, even though the evidence shows advocacy rather than enacted policy.
