Wildfire Smoke
In times when smoke levels are high, you are advised to limit outdoor activities to avoid unnecessary exposure
• Reduce exposure to smoky air by remaining indoors with windows and doors closed. Consider re-scheduling activities that require you to be outdoors, especially strenuous work or exercise activities.
• Set air conditioning units and car vent systems to re-circulate
• If you have asthma or other lung disease, make sure you follow your doctor's directions about taking your medicines and following your asthma management plan. Call your doctor if your symptoms worsen.
• If you have heart or lung disease, if you are an older adult, or if you have children, talk with your doctor about whether and when you should leave the area.
Smoke can irritate the eyes and airways, causing coughing, a scratchy throat and irritated sinuses. Elderly persons, children, and individuals with heart or lung disease are particularly susceptible to elevated air pollution levels and should take extra precautions to avoid exposure. Persons experiencing severe symptoms should seek professional medical advice or treatment.
