Experience tells us that when the whole community comes together to tackle a challenge—and everyone plays a role—the end result is more effective. Everyone—not just the government—needs to be involved in a systematic effort to keep the nation safe from harm and resilient when struck by hazards like natural disasters, acts of terrorism and pandemics.

The Perfect Time to Get Prepared for Disasters
Even though getting prepared can seem overwhelming, it is relatively easy to do once you break it down into smaller, more manageable activities. If you tackle one task each day throughout the month, you'll be prepared before you know it.

Protect Youself From Wildfire Smoke
Protect Youself From Wildfire Smoke
Smoke is made up of a complex mixture of gases and fine particles produced when wood and other organic matter burn. These particles can cause burning eyes, runny nose, coughing, a scratchy throat, irritated sinuses and headaches.
Protect Yourself
Protect Yourself
Use common sense. If it looks smoky outside, it's probably not a good time to mow the lawn or go for a run. It's probably also not a good time for children to play outside. When smoke is heavy, avoid prolonged or heavy exertion. Remain indoors. Keeps windows and doors closed, temperature permitting. Keep your indoor air as clean as possible. Avoid using gas stoves or candles indoors. Dust masks are ineffective against smoke. If you have asthma, lung or heart disease and your symptoms worsen, call your doctor.
