Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This resolution expresses support for designating November 20, 2026, as "Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Awareness Day." Carbon monoxide is a deadly, odorless gas produced when fuels like gasoline, natural gas, and charcoal burn, and it can accumulate in enclosed spaces like cars and homes. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, carbon monoxide poisoning causes over 400 deaths and leads to approximately 20,000 emergency room visits annually. The resolution was prompted by the 2021 death of Suzan Marie Hanna from carbon monoxide poisoning while trapped in her vehicle during flooding in New Jersey. The Hanna family has advocated for increased awareness and safety measures, such as safety hammers in automobiles, to prevent similar tragedies.
