Air quality warnings are in effect across many regions of British Columbia.

Here are some ways you can reduce your exposure to smoke and keep yourself and your loved ones safe:

• Go slow and take it easy. The more active you are, the more smoke you breathe in
• Stay indoors with the windows closed if it is not too hot to do so.
• If you need to go outside, wear a tight-fitting mask like a N95 or KN95.
• Visit cooler indoor spaces in your community such as designated clean air shelters and cooling centers.

If you are experiencing shortness of breath, severe cough, dizziness, chest pain or heart palpitations, call 911, HealthLink BC at 8-1-1 or visit your community health clinic.
