in effect
Proclamation 10931 is a ceremonial presidential proclamation designating May 4–10, 2025 as National Hurricane Preparedness Week. It does not create law or binding obligations; it is a formal public awareness declaration calling on Americans to prepare for hurricane season.
The proclamation establishes the named awareness week for 2025, encouraging households in hurricane-prone areas to create evacuation plans and stock emergency supplies (food, water, medicine, batteries). It references a previously signed Executive Order that shifted a greater share of hurricane resilience and preparedness authority to state and local governments, though the proclamation itself does not enact that order. No new funding, programs, regulatory requirements, or deadlines are created by this document alone.
The proclamation is directed primarily at residents of coastal and inland communities at risk from hurricanes, storm surges, and flooding, urging them to assess their risk and develop household emergency plans. Federal, state, and local emergency management agencies and volunteer organizations are implicitly recognized as partners in preparedness and response efforts, consistent with the referenced Executive Order’s emphasis on local authority.
