El humo de los incendios puede hacer que las evacuaciones sean peligrosas. En la Semana de Preparación para los Incendios Forestales, no pase por alto su salud. Si viaja a un área con aire más limpio, tome medidas para evitar respirar humo en el camino.

Wildfire smoke can make evacuations even more dangerous. This #WildfirePreparednessWeek, as you prep your go-bag, don’t overlook your health & safety. Smoke safety matters—especially when every minute counts. If traveling to cleaner air, take steps to reduce smoke exposure.

No todos tienen acceso al aire limpio en espacios interiores. Por eso CARB y los distritos de aire crearon los Centros de Aire Limpio de California: espacios con aire filtrado para los días de humo por incendios forestales y mala calidad del aire. 📍Más: ww2.arb.ca.gov/cleanaircenters

Not everyone has access to clean indoor air. That’s why CARB & local air districts created California Clean Air Centers—Safe indoor spaces with filtered air during wildfire smoke & poor air days. 📍 Find one near you: ww2.arb.ca.gov/cleanaircenters

El primer presidente de CARB, el Dr. Arie Haagen-Smit, demostró que el humo de los vehículos afecta tanto el aire como a las plantas y la vida silvestre. En la Semana de la Concientización sobre la Calidad del Aire, protejamos el aire que compartimos: bit.ly/3QzzAYZ

🌿Clean air supports more than people—it sustains entire ecosystems. CARB’s first chair, Dr. Arie Haagen-Smit, showed smog from vehicle exhaust harms plants, wildlife & ecosystems—not just air. This #AQAW2026, protect the air we share ➡️ww2.arb.ca.gov/resources/fact-sheets/ozone-effects

Wildfire smoke harms your lungs—even when you can’t see it. This #WildfirePreparednessWeek, wear an N95: ✔️ NIOSH-approved ✔️ Tight seal ✔️ When outdoors for long periods or smoke/ash is present Cloth & surgical masks won’t protect you—Mask up properly: bit.ly/4ttLUbV

¡El humo de los incendios forestales puede dañar los pulmones! Durante esta Semana de Preparación para los Incendios Forestales, use una mascarilla N95 aprobada por NIOSH si hay humo o ceniza en el aire. Otras mascarillas no lo protegerán. Más: bit.ly/4ta6ZqN
