ALT Protect yourself from heat & sun. Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol. Beverages from electrolytes can also help protect against heat stress. Apply sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) every two hours. Wear lightweight, loose-fitting, and light-colored clothing. Take regular breaks in the shade.

Prepare for wildfire smoke season today!
Filtering the air in your home can improve your indoor air quality and reduce your exposure to smoke. A DIY box fan filter can be a cost-efficient filter option to improve indoor air quality in a single room or designated space. Learn how to make a DIY box fan filter in this video (now with ASL interpretation).
Try to buy materials soon, as supplies will sell quickly once wildfire smoke arrives.
