In the events of wildfire smoke, you are encouraged to take the following steps to address your personal health and comfort:

• Curtail outdoor activities that are not essential or time sensitive. Please consult with your manager if you have questions or special health needs.
• For more susceptible populations including older adults, children, and those with pulmonary/respiratory conditions, minimize time spent outdoors.
• Limit strenuous outdoor activity where possible.
• When indoors, keep windows and doors closed.
• In vehicles, use air-recirculation mode.
• Drink plenty of water to help minimize potential irritation.
• Consult with your health care provider if you experience smoke-related health issues.
