Wildfire Smoke and Pregnancy
The Wildfire Smoke and Pregnancy website provides essential information on how pregnant individuals can protect themselves from wildfire smoke. It includes guidance on preparing for wildfire season by discussing prenatal care and emergency plans with healthcare providers, stocking up on necessary medications, and keeping emergency bags ready. During smoke events, it recommends staying indoors with windows closed, using an HVAC system with a filter or using a portable air cleaner, and monitoring air quality levels and heat risk indicators. It also covers post-wildfire precautions, such as avoiding ash and waiting for safety advisories before returning home.
