National Weather Service has issued AIR QUALITY ALERTS due to smoke impacts from surrounding wildfires for San Luis Obispo County Central Coast; San Luis Obispo County Interior Valleys; San Luis Obispo County Mountains, Ventura County Coast; Ventura County Interior Valleys

Impact: Exposure to particle pollution can cause serious health problems, aggravate lung disease, cause asthma attacks and acute bronchitis, and increase risk of respiratory infections.

Instructions: Use caution as conditions warrant. People with heart or lung diseases should follow their doctor`s advice for dealing with episodes of unhealthy air quality. Additionally, older adults and children should avoid prolonged exposure, strenuous activities or heavy exertion, as conditions dictate.

‘Unhealthy’ conditions persist

Wildfire Smoke Precautions

Eight Tips for Protecting Yourself from Breathing Smoke

If possible, limit your exposure to smoke. Here are eight tips to help you protect your health:

1. Pay attention to local air quality reports and the U.S. Air Quality Index. When a wildfire occurs in your area, watch for news or health warnings about smoke. Pay attention to public health messages and take extra safety measures such as avoiding spending time outdoors. 2. Pay attention to visibility guides if they are available. Although not every community measures the amount of particles in the air, some communities have guidelines to help people estimate air quality based on how far they can see. 3. If you are told to stay indoors, stay indoors and keep your indoor air as clean as possible. Keep windows and doors closed unless it is very hot outside. Run an air conditioner if you have one, but keep the fresh-air intake closed and the filter clean to prevent outdoor smoke from getting inside. Seek shelter elsewhere if you do not have an air conditioner and it is too warm to stay inside with the windows closed. 4. Use an air filter. Use a freestanding indoor air filter with particle removal to help protect people with heart disease, asthma or other respiratory conditions and the elderly and children from the effects of wildfire smoke. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on filter replacement and where to place the device. 5. Do not add to indoor pollution. When smoke levels are high, do not use anything that burns, such as candles and fireplaces. Do not vacuum, because vacuuming stirs up particles already inside your home. Do not smoke tobacco or other products, because smoking puts even more pollution into the air. 6. Follow your doctor’s advice about medicines and about your respiratory management plan if you have asthma or another lung disease or cardiovascular disease. Call your doctor if your symptoms worsen.1 7. Do not rely on dust masks for protection. Paper “comfort” or “dust” masks commonly found at hardware stores trap large particles, such as sawdust. These masks will not protect your lungs from smoke. An “N95” mask, properly worn, will offer some protection. If you decide to keep a mask on hand, see the Respirator Fact Sheet provided by CDC’s National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. 8. Avoid smoke exposure during outdoor recreation. Wildfires and prescribed burns—fires that are set on purpose to manage land—can create smoky conditions. Before you travel to a park or forest, check to see if any wildfires are happening or if any prescribed burns are planned.

Evacuation preparation:

• An evacuation alert is a notification of potential danger that might arise. An evacuation alert does not mean you have to evacuate; rather, you should be prepared to evacuate with very short notice. Consider the following actions:

• Family members should: o Agree on which evacuation resource center they’re traveling to o Set up meeting a point in case of separation o Establish an emergency contact who lives out of town that will be able to keep track of their whereabouts

• Pack an emergency kit or “go bag” to include items such as: o Important paperwork like insurance and identification documents o Medicine o Non-perishable food o Water (4 liters per person per day) o Clothing for a few days o Blankets o Cash o Comfort items for children o Cellphone chargers

• Secure your home – you should do the following if it is deemed safe: o Close doors and windows o Close and latch gates, but leave them unlocked o Shut off the water o Switch electricity off o Leave the natural gas "on."

• Officials say you should take your pets with you. o However, you'll need to plan where to take them as many evacuation shelters do not allow animals. o Household pets should be leashed or in a carrier. Find more information on animal evacuations.

Personal Safety Concerns on Re-Entry Following an Evacuation:

Ash and other particulate may still be present in and around the former evacuation area and poses a possible health hazard: because of its high pH level, residual ash is caustic and can potentially cause skin, eye, and respiratory irritation. The fire retardant applied often contains ammonia which can also cause skin, eye, and respiratory irritation as well as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea if ingested. Additionally, there may be traces of toxic substances such as arsenic, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, dioxins, and furans have been detected at concentrations above safe levels.

As a result, it is extremely important that those returning to their homes and businesses follow the best practices outlined by various agencies. Some of the key guidance information is outlined as follows:

Potential Hazards

. Slip, trip, and fall hazards from unstable structures, open pits, or wet and slippery surfaces . Sharp objects such as nails, metal, concrete, or wood debris . Ash, soot, and demolition dust . Hazardous materials such as kitchen and bathroom cleaning products, paint, batteries, and fuel containers which have been partially damaged or destroyed . Confined or poorly ventilated areas where carbon monoxide may be present from the operation of pumps, generators, or pressure washers. Be careful entering tight spaces. . Pesticides or herbicide containers potentially damaged or destroyed . Propane cylinders for heating or from BBQ

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Use appropriate PPE when entering any facility

Breathing protection: . Use NIOSH 95 (N95) rated protective masks to filter out and reduce exposure to fine dust particles such as ash and soot. These masks, when properly fitted, are more effective than dust masks or surgical masks. . Consider that masks can increase physical stress on a person by making it more difficult to breathe. . It is expected that N95 masks will be in short supply in Fort McMurray so supplies should be purchased before returning to the community.

Protective clothing, gloves, and boots: . Select “head-to-toe” protection and consider durability including cut, puncture, abrasion, and slip resistance. . At minimum, wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, or coveralls, leather gloves, and boots with thick soles to prevent punctures from sharp objects.

Eye, face, and head protection: . Wear safety glasses or goggles which provide wrap-around protection. Regular sunglasses are not sufficient protection. . Protective helmets or hard-hats are recommended for clean-up of areas where there is a risk of falling debris due to structural damage.

Hearing protection: . Ear plugs or safety ear defenders should be used when operating heavy machinery or power tools.

Boil Water Advisory

If a boiled water advisory is in effect:

Residents and businesses are advised to use either bottled water or water that has reached a full boil for at least one minute prior to consumption or usage for the following activities: . Drinking . Brushing teeth . Cleaning raw foods . Preparing infant formulas or juices . Making ice, etc.

Water used for bathing or washing clothes does not need to be boiled. For hand washing, wash with soap and water and use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer containing more than 60 per cent alcohol after drying your hands. Residents may instead choose to purchase bottled water for consumption for the duration of the advisory. Residents should check rmwb.ca regularly for boil water advisory updates.

Air Quality

Healthy adults can consider returning to an evacuation area when the Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) is 6 or less, and favorable wind and weather conditions exist that minimize smoke entering the community.

At-risk individuals may want to delay their return until the AQHI is regularly 3 or less. At-risk individuals include:

. Individuals with respiratory conditions (such as COPD and asthma) . Individuals with existing cardiovascular conditions (such as angina, previous heart attack) . Pregnant women . Children seven years old and younger . Seniors (65 years of age and older)
