Assembly adopts resolution designating a second-week-in-September Home Hardening Week

California State Assembly · August 17, 2026

Summary

Assemblymember Bennett sponsored HR 136 to declare a Home Hardening Week the second week of September to promote defensible space and home-hardening measures ahead of wildfire season; the resolution drew 64 co-authors and was adopted by voice vote.

Assemblymember Bennett told the Assembly "it's time for us to get more serious about the whole issue of defensible space and home hardening" and proposed naming the second week in September as Home Hardening Week to mobilize homeowners and communities ahead of fire season.

Bennett left the first roll open for coauthors; the clerk recorded 64 co-authors and the Assembly adopted the resolution by voice vote. The author framed the week as an opportunity to encourage individual and community actions to reduce fire risk and to mobilize outreach before the peak season.
