Smoke safety:

✔️Limit your exposure: watch air pollution reports and consider reducing time outdoors.
✔️Know your risk: air quality affects everyone. Some can be more affected than others, such as people with some health conditions, older adults, pregnant people, people who work or exercise heavily outdoors, infants and young children.
✔️Watch for symptoms: coughing, scratchy throat, irritated sinuses, shortness of breath, chest pain, headaches, or worsening of asthma symptoms.
✔️When there is an extreme heat event occurring with wildfire smoke, prioritize keeping cool.
