It emphasizes the importance of honoring each life lost during this catastrophic event and recognizes the profound void left in the lives of those who survived. H.C.R. No. 2 was unanimously adopted by both the House and Senate, reflecting a unified commitment to remember and pay tribute to the victims of this tragic flooding event.
