High heat in the 90s is forecasted along with wildfire smoke. Multnomah County health officials advise that staying cool is your #1 priority.⚠️

While breathing in wildfire smoke is harmful to everyone’s health, extreme heat and overheating are more immediately dangerous for most people at risk.

How to protect yourself:
❄️ If you have AC: Keep windows closed, set AC to recirculate indoor air and run air cleaners.
🏠 If you don’t have AC: Make a plan NOW to get somewhere cool for a few hours during the day and open your windows at night to cool your home.
🧼 Create a clean room: Use indoor air cleaners if you have them.
🏃 Limit outdoor activities: Avoid strenuous outdoor activity during peak heat and smoke.
