Wildfire smoke can affect everyone, but older adults are often at a greater risk for serious health complications. As smoke levels increase, taking a few simple precautions can help protect your health. 🧡💙
If wildfire smoke is present in your area, try to stay indoors as much as possible, keep windows and doors closed, use air conditioning if available, and avoid strenuous outdoor activities. If you need to be outside, consider limiting the amount of time you spend outdoors, especially during periods of poor air quality.
It's also important to stay hydrated, keep necessary medications nearby, and check in with family members, friends, and neighbors who may need extra support.
