WHAT...Air Quality Health Advisory for Wildfire Smoke.

WHERE...eastern Rio Blanco, eastern Garfield, Eagle, and Routt
Counties. Locations include, but are not limited to Meeker,

Steamboat Springs.

WHEN...900 AM Monday August 04 to 900 AM Tuesday August 05

IMPACTS...Smoke from several fires in Rio Blanco and Garfield
Counties will produce areas of moderate to heavy smoke on Monday
and Tuesday. The greatest impacts are expected in areas in the
immediate vicinity of these fires, particularly in sheltered areas
and low lying terrain. Additional smoke impacts may be experienced
across the advisory area due to transport of smoke on Monday and
Tuesday.

HEALTH INFORMATION...Public Health Recommendations: If smoke is
thick or becomes thick in your neighborhood you may want to remain
indoors. This is especially true for those with heart disease,
respiratory illnesses, the very young, and older adults. Consider
limiting outdoor activity when moderate to heavy smoke is present.
Consider relocating temporarily if smoke is present indoors and is
making you ill. If visibility is less than 5 miles in smoke in
your neighborhood, smoke has reached levels that are unhealthy.
