SMOKY SKIES BULLETIN - APRIL 23, 2024
THIS REGION IS BEING IMPACTED OR IS LIKELY TO BE IMPACTED BY
WILDFIRE SMOKE OVER THE NEXT 24-48 HOURS.
SMOKE IS EXPECTED TO BE HIGHLY VARIABLE ACROSS THE REGION.
THE NEXT BULLETIN UPDATE WILL BE AVAILABLE APRIL 24, 2024.
THE BULLETIN CAN BE ACCESSED ONLINE AT

DURING A WILDFIRE, SMOKE CONDITIONS CAN CHANGE QUICKLY OVER SHORT
DISTANCES AND CAN VARY CONSIDERABLY HOUR-BY-HOUR.
WILDFIRE SMOKE IS A NATURAL PART OF OUR ENVIRONMENT BUT IT IS
IMPORTANT TO BE MINDFUL THAT EXPOSURE TO SMOKE MAY AFFECT YOUR
HEALTH.
PEOPLE WITH PRE-EXISTING HEALTH CONDITIONS, RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS

CHILDREN, AND SENSITIVE INDIVIDUALS
ARE MORE LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE HEALTH EFFECTS FROM SMOKE EXPOSURE.
