When the air quality is unhealthy, it can be especially hard on older adults and anyone with heart or lung conditions.

Here are a few simple ways to protect yourself:

-Stay indoors when air quality is poor.

-Limit outdoor activities, especially during the hottest part of the day.

-Keep windows and doors closed and use air conditioning if available.

-Stay hydrated.

If you must be outside for an extended period, consider wearing a well-fitting N95 or KN95 mask.

If you experience shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness, or worsening breathing problems, contact your healthcare provider right away.

A little extra caution today can help keep you healthy tomorrow. Stay safe, stay informed, and take care of yourself!
