How to Stay Healthy During Wildfire Smoke Events
• Wildfire smoke can pose serious health risks, especially for vulnerable groups.
• Learn how to protect yourself and your family when air quality is compromised.
Monitoring Air Quality During Wildfires
Air quality can change rapidly during a wildfire. Use reliable sources, such as government air quality websites or apps, to stay informed about local conditions. Look for the Air Quality Index (AQI) to understand the level of pollution in your area. An AQI above 100 is considered unhealthy, especially for sensitive groups, while levels above 200 are hazardous for everyone.
