Health officials urge residents to take the following steps to avoid the health effects of smoke exposure:
- Be aware of smoke concentrations in your area. Avoid the places with highest concentrations. Residents can check the current air quality conditions on the Oregon Smoke blog: http://oregonsmoke.blogspot.com/. Avoid outdoor activities when air quality is unhealthy to hazardous.
- To avoid smoke, either leave the area or protect yourself by staying indoors.
- Keep indoor air cleaner by closing as many windows and doors as possible without letting your home overheat. Consider using a HEPA room air cleaner.
- Avoid strenuous outdoor activity in smoky conditions.
- People with chronic lung or heart conditions, the elderly, and children are more sensitive to the health effects of wildfire smoke. People who suffer from asthma or other respiratory conditions should follow their breathing management plans, keep medications on hand, and contact their health care provider if necessary.
