Smoke from Canada

Please stay inside if you are sensitive to smoke

check your area for air quality:

PLEASE REBLOG AND SHARE MORE TIPS

I’m actively updating as of Wednesday Jun 7, 2023. Please check your local news stations and weather apps for information on your area.

Outside

If you have to go outside please wear a mask, have lots of sunscreen and drink water when available/needed. Stay in shade when walking. Wear light colors outside, avoid dark colors. Cloth Masks are cool but paint/filter masks are your best friend. If you have a inhaler just bring it with you everywhere! Inside

When inside don’t open windows and keep curtain closed to expel heat. Sandwiches and fruit are your friend. Cooking is far too hot. If you are about to run out of water fill tub with cold water and pray you have a good drain. Basements are your friend. DRINK WATER NOT SODA OR SPORTS DRINKS! Don’t use drier, use a clothes line if possible

Extra

if you are looking for shelter, Public libraries, coffee shops, grocery stores, anywhere thats air conditioned. Take anything you need but be SAFE

Did I mention water? Gatorade is fun but don’t drink caffeine.

If there’s no smoke in your area and you just need to cool down, open your window at night/early morning

|| Take it easy. No, easier than that. Aside from the mental toll the smoke and horrible weird light and the creepy red sun and the burning smell take on you, your body is just working way harder to do everything it normally does. You will be exhausted, you will be distracted, you will have headaches and you will struggle with basic tasks like "walking up stairs." Do not try to power through it. Cancel plans, reschedule appointments, do fewer errands or consolidate them into one trip.

Treat yourself like you have a cold. Plenty of fluids, stopping when you're tired, cough drops and eye drops for the painful throat and eyes, inhalers if you have one.

Spend as little time outside as you possibly can. This includes your pets. Do not open your windows, do not open your screen door, do not run your AC (this is where some of the above advice for hot weather will come in handy.)

If you have to go outside, wear an N95 or KN95 mask. Make sure it's well-fitted around your face. You're not trying to keep out the smoke, but the PM2.5 (particulate matter 2.5 microns or smaller.) That's the stuff that causes cancer. If you have a fan with a HEPA filter, blast it all the time. If you don't have one go look at diy air filter link below, ask a mutual aid center if you cannot come into contact with these materials. || These tips are from them, a few links below are from them too so go give them some love. https://www.tumblr.com/salteywater

Choking to death because of fires in Canada was NOT on my 2023 bingo card.

It has occurred to me that many people on the east coast are experiencing something of this caliber for the first time. I’ve been dealing with this almost every summer for nearly as long as I can remember. Ergo, helpful information post.

Moderate air quality means that health-wise, while it’s not great to be outside, if you’re not a sensitive group (elderly, asthma, heart condition, lung condition, very young), you won’t experience any health effects. Unhealthy for sensitive groups is exactly as it sounds, but we’re getting into “nobody do anything strenuous outside” territory. Unhealthy into hazardous is don’t exercise outside, don’t walk outside, don’t go outside unless you absolutely have to

If you have to go outside, wear a mask. Your best bet for smoke in the air is an N-95, which are sold at most hardware stores. Other masks work fine, but the best for smoke is N-95

When it comes to evacuation notices, there are three levels: level 1–get ready. Pack a suitcase or two. Clothes, toiletries, and things that absolutely cannot be replaced. It sucks. As someone who has done it, I’ve never felt more powerless than having to decide what was important enough to me that I wasn’t willing to let it burn. Level 2–get set. Pack the stuff up in the car. If you don’t have a car, reach out to neighbors. I don’t care if you’ve never spoken to them a day in your life. In an emergency situation you have to get out. Level 3–go. Leave and, if you’re the religious type, pray. It’s all you can do.

Edit: if the fire is coming towards a residential area, more specifically your residential area, and you have the means, take a hose and spray your house down. Just douse the motherfucker. It sounds unusual but wet houses are less likely to catch. Your water bill might jump, but at least you’ve got a house

Things are fucking scary right now. Breathe and plan. Do what you can. Regardless of what happens, you can make it through.

Has anyone tried connecting this.

With this?

When ammonium nitrate burns it gives off Orange and Brown smoke.

[jellyfishstarthings]

my city currently looks like it should be the setting for some post-apocalyptic movie. air quality here in jersey is plummeting so stay safe everyone in canada, new york, new jersey, pennsylvania, and any other north eastern state that might be getting hit right now

everyone should really be staying inside right now and keeping an eye on the air quality but i would also like to emphasize this sentiment if you have any kind of asthma, lung problems, or heart problems: STAY INSIDE! the air quality is NOT SAFE! going outside while the air quality is deemed ‘unhealthy’ is DANGEROUS!

as someone who’s been having lung problems ever since catching covid, i can tell you that my chest feels heavy and i’m coughing and it’s scary so please stay inside and take care of yourselves

#canada fires #the sky is so yellow and hazy right now #looks like some director put the middle eastern marketplace filter all over my city #hey wild fires could you maybe chill? #bc my post-covid lungs do not need this rn
