Health Recommendations & Actions
The Northern Inter-Tribal Health Authority and environmental models carry the following recommendations for the next 72 hours:
- Sensitive Individuals: If you are sensitive to smoke, please remain indoors during periods of higher smoke levels.
- Symptom Monitoring: Monitor yourself closely for worsening symptoms such as coughing or shortness of breath. If symptoms develop, seek advice from your health care professional.
- Evacuations: Current models do not support large-group evacuations due to smoke alone.
Protective Steps: Individuals may be recommended by their healthcare provider to utilize home air purifiers (HEPA) or to seek temporary reprieve in designated local fresh-air shelters if indoor air quality becomes compromised.
