Wildfire smoke affects everyone. Children, pregnant individuals, and individuals with lung diseases such as asthma, heart disease, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease are especially vulnerable to wild fire smoke (CDC). 🔥If you are near wildfire smoke, take steps to protect yourself (CDC):🔶 When outdoors, wear a respirator or mask.🔶 When indoors, keep one room closed off with clean air. Avoid burning candles, incense, etc., and use a portable air cleaner or filter in this room. For the central air conditioning system, use high efficiency filters. If it has a fresh air intake, turn the system to recirculate mode, or close the outdoor intake damper. 🔶 Stay informed about wildfire risks near you and follow emergency alerts.🔗 For more tips to protect yourself from wildfire smoke, visit: www.cdc.gov/wildfires/safety/how-to-safely-stay-safe-during-a-wildfire.html#wildfiresmoke #WildfirePreparedness #wildfire #EmergencyPreparedness #district2publichealth ...
