September 2020 - Protect Your Health During Poor Air Quality Events

• Monitor air quality in your area and plan outdoor activities accordingly.
• Remember dust and cloth masks do not provide protection against wildfire smoke.
• Talk to your doctor and follow guidance to protect your health during poor air quality events.

August 2020 - Wildfires and Outdoor Activities

• Wildfire smoke can travel long distances causing poor or even hazardous air quality; placing your health at risk, even if you are not in the areas with wildfires.
• Avoid air pollution by keeping your indoor air clean; remember face coverings used to slow the spread of COVID-19 offer little protection against the harmful air pollutants in wildfire smoke.
• Know when to adjust plans for outdoor activities by paying attention to air quality reports and local guidance.
