Fire Prevention - September and October

Whenever we enter the peak of wildfire season in Marin, September/October, hot, dry weather and strong winds increase the risk of fires. Power outages are likely and can be hazardous for individuals who rely on oxygen, refrigerated medications, or other electric medical devices. Smoke and poor air quality are also common during fire season and can exacerbate asthma, COPD, or heart conditions.

Recommendations for our families are to keep medicines easily accessible, use a well-fitting mask outdoors, and remain indoors with filtered air whenever possible. Extreme heat may happen at the same time, putting older adults and people with chronic illnesses at higher risk. Find tips and resources
