Stay indoors during a wildfire. If you must go outside, wear an N95 mask. 😷 N95 masks protect us from particles that can cause health issues. More tips: cdph.ca.gov/Programs/EPO/Pag… #FireSafety #AirQuality

Resist the urge to fly high near any World Cup game. @Cal_OES reminds you that the @FAANews and law enforcement have officially designated all FIFA World Cup 2026™ stadiums and surrounding event spaces as strict "No Drone Zones." Operating one inside a restricted World Cup No Drone Zone is illegal and can result in criminal charges. For more information, visit: wp.me/pgM8my-12oz

Just because the wildfire is out doesn’t mean the air is safe. 🌫️ Smoke & ash can linger. Stay indoors & wear a mask if you must go outside. 😷 📲 To know when it's safe to spend time outdoors, visit airnow.gov in bio or use local alerts. #AirQuality #CleanAir

Big crowds mean lots of shared surfaces. Headed to a concert or a sports game? Wash your hands often or use sanitizer—especially before eating. Clean hands stop germs fast and keep you cheering, not coughing! 🙌🧼 More tips at cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CHCQ/HA…
