MARCH 26, 2026 - CODE ORANGE AIR QUALITY ADVISORY for FINE PARTICULATE

Due to smoke from prescribed burning affecting our region, a Code Orange Air Quality Advisory has been issued for fine particles. Smoke from ongoing burning is causing increased levels of fine particles in the air, which can impact health, particularly for sensitive groups such as children, older adults, and individuals with heart or lung conditions.
Sensitive groups, and anyone experiencing potential health effects, can reduce exposure by limiting prolonged outdoor activities, keeping windows and doors closed when possible, and considering the use of indoor air filtration. Residents are encouraged to monitor local updates and take appropriate precautions until air quality conditions improve. Visit airnow.gov for hourly updates, as air quality is subject to fluctuating throughout the day.
