National Weather Service has issued air quality alerts due to smoke impacts from surrounding wildfires. Areas affected are: Fresno; Kern; Kings; Madera;
Merced; San Joaquin; Stanislaus; Tulare. The alert is in effect until the fires are extinguished.
Impact: Exposure to particle pollution can cause serious health problems, aggravate lung disease, cause asthma attacks and acute bronchitis, and increase risk of
respiratory infections.
Instructions: Use caution as conditions warrant. People with heart or lung diseases should follow their doctor`s advice for dealing with episodes of unhealthy air
quality. Additionally, older adults and children should avoid prolonged exposure, strenuous activities or heavy exertion, as conditions dictate.
‘Unhealthy’ conditions persist

Wildfire Smoke Precautions
Eight Tips for Protecting Yourself from Breathing Wildfire Smoke
If possible, limit your exposure to smoke. Here are eight tips to help you protect your health:
1. Pay attention to local air quality reports and the U.S. Air Quality Index. When a wildfire occurs in your area, watch for news or health warnings about
smoke. Pay attention to public health messages and take extra safety measures such as avoiding spending time outdoors.
2. Pay attention to visibility guides if they are available. Although not every community measures the amount of particles in the air, some communities have
guidelines to help people estimate air quality based on how far they can see.
3. If you are told to stay indoors, stay indoors and keep your indoor air as clean as possible. Keep windows and doors closed unless it is very hot outside.
Run an air conditioner if you have one, but keep the fresh-air intake closed and the filter clean to prevent outdoor smoke from getting inside. Seek shelter
elsewhere if you do not have an air conditioner and it is too warm to stay inside with the windows closed.
4. Use an air filter. Use a freestanding indoor air filter with particle removal to help protect people with heart disease, asthma or other respiratory conditions
and the elderly and children from the effects of wildfire smoke. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on filter replacement and where to place the device.
5. Do not add to indoor pollution. When smoke levels are high, do not use anything that burns, such as candles and fireplaces. Do not vacuum, because
vacuuming stirs up particles already inside your home. Do not smoke tobacco or other products, because smoking puts even more pollution into the air.
6. Follow your doctor’s advice about medicines and about your respiratory management plan if you have asthma or another lung disease or cardiovascular
disease. Call your doctor if your symptoms worsen.
7. Do not rely on dust masks for protection. Paper “comfort” or “dust” masks commonly found at hardware stores trap large particles, such as sawdust. These
masks will not protect your lungs from smoke. An “N95” mask, properly worn, will offer some protection. If you decide to keep a mask on hand, see the
Respirator Fact Sheet provided by CDC’s National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
8. Avoid smoke exposure during outdoor recreation. Wildfires and prescribed burns—fires that are set on purpose to manage land—can create smoky
conditions. Before you travel to a park or forest, check to see if any wildfires are happening or if any prescribed burns are planned.

Evacuation preparation:
• An evacuation alert is a notification of potential danger that might arise. An evacuation alert does not mean you have to evacuate; rather, you should be
prepared to evacuate with very short notice. Consider the following actions:
• Family members should:
o Agree on which evacuation resource center they’re traveling to
o Set up meeting a point in case of separation
o Establish an emergency contact who lives out of town that will be able to keep track of their whereabouts
• Pack an emergency kit or “go bag” to include items such as:
o Important paperwork like insurance and identification documents
o Medicine
o Non-perishable food
o Water (4 liters per person per day)
o Clothing for a few days
o Blankets
o Cash
o Comfort items for children
o Cellphone chargers
• Secure your home – you should do the following if it is deemed safe:
o Close doors and windows
o Close and latch gates, but leave them unlocked
o Shut off the water
o Switch electricity off
o Leave the natural gas "on."
• Officials say you should take your pets with you.
o However, you'll need to plan where to take them as many evacuation shelters do not allow animals.
o Household pets should be leashed or in a carrier. Find more information on animal evacuations.
