Take Care During Smoky Periods

North Central Public Health District is reminding residents of Wasco, Sherman, and Gilliam Counties to take precautions to avoid illness during periods of wildfire smoke inhalation.  Visit the Oregon Smoke Blog and the DEQ Air Quality Index websites to monitor air conditions.  DEQ air quality monitoring data is updated hourly and is color-coded for easy to read information, with a permanent monitor located in The Dalles.  Avoid working or exercising outdoors when air quality is poor, stay indoors and close doors and windows during smoky periods, and drink plenty of water.
