- As we experience the change in our Air Quality here in Rehobth as a result of the Canadian Wild Fires, please consider the following:
- Monitor local air quality and follow public health and air quality advisories
- Limit outdoor activity and strenuous exercise when air quality is poor; move activities indoors when possible
- Keep indoor air cleaner by closing windows and doors, setting air conditioning systems to recirculate, and using high-efficiency (HEPA) air filters when available
- Avoid activities that increase indoor particle levels, including smoking, burning candles or incense, frying or broiling food, and using non-HEPA vacuums
- Follow medical guidance if at greater risk for asthma or other health concerns
- Keep medications available, and contact a health care provider with concerns
- Have a supply of N95 masks, learn when and how to use them, and practice having your child wear small N95 or surgical masks
- Seek immediate medical care for chest pain, chest tightness, severe shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing.
