Wildfire smoke can travel long distances and affect air quality, even when fires are far from our community. As smoke levels increase, so do potential health risks.

When wildfire smoke and extreme heat occur at the same time, health risks can increase for everyone. During these conditions, it's important to reduce your exposure to smoke while also taking steps to stay cool. If you must choose between avoiding smoke and avoiding heat, prioritize staying cool, as overheating can pose a greater immediate risk to your health.

• Check the Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) and local weather alerts before spending time outdoors. Reduce or reschedule strenuous outdoor activities.

• Drink water regularly and take breaks in cool, shaded, or air-conditioned spaces.

• Watch for symptoms such as coughing, shortness of breath, dizziness, headache, extreme thirst, or confusion.

Stay Safe Outdoors in the Heat!

• Plan outdoor activities for early morning or evening, when temperatures are cooler.

• Limit time outside between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun and heat are typically strongest.

• Wear lightweight, light-coloured, loose-fitting clothing and a hat to help keep cool and protect yourself from the sun.

• Drink water regularly before, during, and after being outdoors even if you don't feel thirsty.

• Take frequent breaks in the shade or in air-conditioned spaces to cool down.

• Watch for signs of heat-related illness. If you begin to feel unwell, move indoors or to a cool place right away and seek medical attention if symptoms are severe or don't improve.

Stay cool, stay hydrated, and stay safe!
