## Summary

**Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Awareness** — this resolution would designate November 20, 2026 as Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Awareness Day to raise public attention to carbon monoxide dangers. It cites CDC figures of over 400 deaths and 20,000 emergency department visits each year and explains that CO is an odorless, colorless gas produced when fuels like natural gas, propane, gasoline, oil, kerosene, or charcoal burn. The text highlights common sources such as automobiles, boats, and heating systems and warns that CO can build up in enclosed spaces and block oxygen uptake. It also notes the 2021 death of Suzan "Suzie" Marie Hanna and her family's advocacy for drivers to carry a Safety Hammer.
