The poor air quality poses health risks to all residents, particularly those with pre-existing conditions such as heart or lung disease. Symptoms like coughing, wheezing, and inflammation may occur, and prolonged exposure could lead to more severe complications, including chest pain or strokes. Sensitive groups, including children and older adults, are at heightened risk during Code Orange conditions, while Code Red conditions are hazardous for everyone. The combination of wildfire smoke and excessive heat increases the likelihood of health emergencies, especially for those engaging in outdoor activities.
