JOINT RESOLUTION DESIGNATING JUNE 27, 2019 AS POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS INJURY AWARENESS DAY
WHEREAS, all veterans of the United States Armed Forces possess the basic human right to the preservation of personal dignity and deserve the investment of every possible resource to ensure their lasting physical, mental and emotional well-being; and
WHEREAS, the diagnosis known as post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, was initially formulated in 1980 by the American Psychiatric Association to more accurately assess and assist veterans who had endured severe combat stress in Vietnam;and
WHEREAS, combat stress is an invisible wound that has historically been unjustly portrayed as a mental illness caused by a preexisting flaw of character or ability, and the word "disorder" carries a stigma that perpetuates this misconception;and
WHEREAS, it has been shown through electromagnetic imaging that these invisible wounds can cause physical changes to the brain that more accurately indicate an injury than a disorder;and
WHEREAS, referring to invisible wounds as a disorder may discourage the injured from seeking proper and timely medical treatment; and
WHEREAS, referring to invisible wounds as post-traumatic stress injury, or PTSI, is less stigmatizing and viewed as more honorable, and this designation can favorably influence those affected and encourage them to seek treatment without fear of retribution or shame; and
WHEREAS, post-traumatic stress injury can occur following exposure to extremely traumatic events other than combat such as, but not exclusive to, interpersonal violence, life-threatening accidents and natural disasters; and
WHEREAS, post-traumatic stress injury satisfying the criteria for a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders deserves disability compensation equal to that allowed for PTSD under the law; and
WHEREAS, while all citizens suffering post-traumatic stress injuries deserve our compassion and consideration, those brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces who have received these wounds in operational action against an enemy of the United States further deserve our clear and obvious recognition;and
WHEREAS, timely and appropriate treatment of post-traumatic stress injury can diminish complications and avert suicides; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED: That We, the Members of the One Hundred and Twenty-ninth Legislature now assembled in the First Regular Session, on behalf of the people we represent, take this opportunity to designate June 27, 2019 as Post-Traumatic Stress Injury Awareness Day and respectfully urge the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Defense, Veterans and Emergency Management to continue working to educate victims of interpersonal violence, combat, life-threatening accidents or natural disasters and their families, as well as the general public, about the causes, symptoms and treatment of post-traumatic stress injury.

(4-2) On motion of Representative TEPLER of Topsham, the following Joint Resolution: (H.P. 1313) (Cosponsored by Senator FOLEY of York and Representatives: HUTCHINS of Penobscot, MAXMIN of Nobleboro, McCREIGHT of Harpswell, PEOPLES of Westbrook, SHEATS of Auburn, TUCKER of Brunswick, TUELL of East Machias, Senator: SANBORN, H. of Cumberland)
JOINT RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING SEPTEMBER 1-7, 2019 AS RESILIENCY WEEK IN MAINE
WHEREAS, natural hazard mitigation is the effort to reduce loss of life and property by lessening the impact of disasters. It is most effective when implemented under a comprehensive, long‑term mitigation plan;and
WHEREAS, the Pre-Disaster Mitigation Grant Program, administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, is designed to assist states and local communities in implementing a sustained pre‑disaster natural hazard mitigation program;and
WHEREAS, the recently enacted federal Disaster Recovery Reform Act of 2018 makes money available for states and communities to undertake pre‑disaster mitigation measures and creates new incentives for states to implement measures to improve the disaster resilience of buildings; and
WHEREAS, since 1908, natural disasters have cost the country more than one trillion dollars; and
WHEREAS, climate change has increased the probability of extreme weather and thereby natural disasters;and
WHEREAS, disasters and increased disaster recovery times affect local and state economies in lost payrolls and lost sales and income tax; and
WHEREAS, according to a FEMA‑commissioned study conducted by the National Institute of Building Sciences, every $1 spent on natural hazard mitigation provides the nation with $6 in future benefits; and
WHEREAS, 25% of small businesses that are impacted by a natural disaster never reopen their doors; and
WHEREAS, September is National Preparedness Month, an occasion to recognize the need for all Americans to prepare for a disaster and plan for recovery after a disaster;and
WHEREAS, natural hazard mitigation planning is a key process used to break the cycle of disaster damage, reconstruction and repeated damage; and
WHEREAS, effective pre-disaster mitigation reduces the demand for relief services on volunteer organizations, such as disaster rescue and recovery teams, along with food banks and homeless shelters that serve our communities by changing their operations to provide additional services to those affected by disaster; and
WHEREAS, the development of awareness throughout Maine of the need to improve building resiliency and develop long‑range mitigation strategies for protecting people and property from future disasters is essential to the future of our economic growth, health and well‑being; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED: That We, the Members of the One Hundred and Twenty‑ninth Legislature now assembled in the First Regular Session, on behalf of the people we represent, take this opportunity to declare the week of September 1‑7, 2019 as Resiliency Week in Maine to raise public awareness about the continuing need to plan for future disasters by instituting a pre‑disaster natural hazard mitigation strategy, and we honor the brave men and women who, as first responders, selflessly provide aid in a disaster to safeguard Maine citizens.
