Smoke from Canadian wildfires has pushed air quality to Hazardous (Maroon AQI) in Wayne County and Southeast Michigan. Combined with today's warm temperatures, these conditions can pose health risks for everyone.

Wildfire smoke can affect everyone's health, but children, older adults, pregnant people, outdoor workers, and those with heart or lung conditions, including asthma, are at greater risk.

Protect yourself today:

✅ Stay indoors in air conditioning when possible and reduce activity levels
✅ Keep windows and outside doors closed
✅ Run A/C on recirculate (if available) and use a MERV-13 or higher filter when possible
✅ Avoid activities that create indoor air pollution, such as burning candles, smoking, or vacuuming
✅Seek an indoor place with A/C if you experience coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, dizziness, or burning of the eyes, nose, or throat. Seek medication attention for any persistent or worsening symptoms.

As we continue to experience severe winter weather, our priority is ensuring that every member of our community has the education, resources, and support needed to remain safe and warm during these conditions.

We also encourage everyone to look out for one another during this time. A simple check-in can make a meaningful difference, especially for elderly neighbors and older adults who may be living alone or have limited access to resources. Community care and awareness are essential during extreme weather, and together we can help ensure no one is left vulnerable.
