It’s Smoke Ready Week
With temperatures already reaching 90 degrees, we could be in for a long, dry, smoky summer. It’s National Smoke Ready Week.

- Wildfire smoke is one of the biggest health risks during the summer.
- Smoke can lead to respiratory issues for everyone, but especially older adults, children, and people with chronic conditions.
