Smoke Advisory: Important Information for the Community
The Palisades Fire remains 0% contained. Winds are causing significant air quality concerns.
Key Health Recommendations
- If you see or smell smoke, stay indoors and avoid strenuous activities, both indoors and outdoors.
- Keep indoor spaces clean by closing windows and doors. Use air conditioners that recirculate indoor air and consider using HEPA filters.
- If you experience symptoms such as severe coughing, shortness of breath, chest pain, or fatigue, consult a healthcare provider immediately.
- Avoid vigorous physical activity.
- If you must be outside, a properly fit N95 or P100 respirator may provide some protection.
The fire and weather conditions may result in localized power outages.
Please take steps to prepare:
- Charge essential devices (phones, laptops, medical equipment) now.
- Stock up on batteries, flashlights, and non-perishable food.
- Avoid opening refrigerators or freezers to preserve food if power goes out.
- For medical needs requiring electricity, have a backup plan ready.
