Air quality in San Francisco is considered unhealthy for sensitive people. Active youth, adults, and people with respiratory diseases should reduce prolonged outdoor exertion. It is okay to be active outside, but take more breaks. Watch for symptoms.

Keep Yourself and Others Safe
  • Check on friends, family and neighbors. Older adults, pregnant individuals, children, and people with respiratory illness are susceptible to elevated air pollution levels and should take precautions to avoid exposure.
  • Smoke can irritate the eyes and airways, causing cough, a dry scratchy throat, runny nose, trouble breathing, and irritated sinuses. Stay hydrated by drinking water during heavy smoke events.
  •  Avoid adding additional air pollution by curtailing activities such as wood burning, lawn mowing, leaf blowing, driving, barbecuing, smoking, or other dust producing activities. Avoid using hairspray and painting indoors. If possible, use the stove fan when cooking.
  •  Local smoke levels can rise and fall rapidly, depending on weather factors, including wind direction. Sign up for alerts by texting your zip code to 888-777 or by visiting www.alertsf.org.
