<\/p>\nSutter Creek, CA \u2013 Some areas of Amador County are experiencing heavy smoke due to smoke drift from wildfires burning in other counties. Amador County Public Health advises community members that air quality may be unsafe for those with sensitive medical conditions. Residents with chronic health conditions, young children, pregnant women and elderly adults should especially be aware and take protective measures.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If you smell or see smoke, take these steps to protect your health:
\n\uf0b7 Minimize outdoor activities.
\n\uf0b7 Stay indoors with the windows and doors closed.
\n\uf0b7 Do not run fans that bring smoky air inside (such as swamp coolers, fresh air ventilation
\nsystems).
\no If you have a wall unit air conditioner, or while in a vehicle, use the \u201cre-circulate\u201d setting.
\n\uf0b7 Do not smoke, fry food or do other activities that that will create indoor air pollution.
\n\uf0b7 If you have chronic health conditions, monitor your health closely. Contact your health provider if
\nyour symptoms worsen, including repeated coughing and wheezing.
\n\uf0b7 Avoid the use of non-HEPA paper face mask filters, which are not capable of filtering out extra
\nfine particulates. Do not rely on HEPA face mask filters to do unnecessary outdoors activities.
\n\uf0b7 If you are experiencing a health emergency, call 911.<\/p>\n
Keep in mind that air quality can change rapidly at different times during the day due to wind shifts;
\ntherefore, it is important to monitor the smoke throughout the day in your area and make outdoor plans
\naccordingly.<\/p>\n
