Some people need extra care

Air pollution may pose greater health concerns for children, older adults, and people with certain heart or lung conditions. Sensitivity depends on individual circumstances.

Growing children

Children are active and still developing. Official AQI guidance can help families plan outdoor activities.

Understand AQI

Older neighbors

Consider checking in with neighbors and relatives when smoke or high pollution is reported.

CARE WITHOUT ALARM

Small gestures matter

A friendly phone call, a thoughtfully planned outing, or sharing a reliable official link can make an everyday difference.
