🌫️ Air Quality Alert for New York City

Smoke from Canadian wildfires is expected to impact air quality across NYC. To help protect your health, limit prolonged outdoor activity when possible and consider wearing a well-fitting KN95 or N95 mask if you need to be outside.

😷 Free KN95 masks are available at select NYPD precincts, FDNY firehouses, and public library locations throughout the five boroughs.

Be sure to check on older adults, neighbors, and anyone with heart or respiratory conditions, as they may be more affected by poor air quality.

Stay informed by signing up for Notify NYC and monitoring local air quality updates.

🌫️ Alerta sobre la calidad del aire en la Ciudad de Nueva York

Se espera que el humo de los incendios forestales en Canadá afecte la calidad del aire en toda la ciudad de Nueva York. Para proteger su salud, limite las actividades prolongadas al aire libre y considere usar una mascarilla KN95 o N95 bien ajustada si necesita salir.

😷 Hay mascarillas KN95 gratuitas disponibles en estaciones de policía (NYPD), estaciones de bomberos (FDNY) seleccionadas y bibliotecas públicas de los cinco condados.

Recuerde visitar o comunicarse con adultos mayores, vecinos y personas con enfermedades cardíacas o respiratorias, ya que pueden verse más afectados por la mala calidad del aire.

Manténgase informado registrándose en Notify NYC y consultando las actualizaciones sobre la calidad del aire.
