#DYK? Respiratory symptoms such as dry cough, sore throat, and difficulty breathing are common to both wildfire smoke exposure and #COVID19. However, other symptoms of COVID-19 unrelated to smoke exposure include fever, chills or body aches. https://go.usa.gov/xfReB

Your planning in case of wildfire may be different this year with #COVID19 social distancing guidelines in place. Some public facilities may not be available to you so consider creating clean air spaces in your home with a portable air cleaner. https://go.usa.gov/xfReB

Cloth face coverings used now to slow the spread of #COVID19 will offer very little protection against harmful air pollutants in wildfire smoke. To minimize health impacts from wildfire smoke, limit your time outdoors and seek clean air spaces. https://go.usa.gov/xfReB

Wildfire season is overlapping with the #COVID19Pandemic. Recent studies suggest that exposure to air pollutants in wildfire smoke may worsen #COVID19 symptoms and outcomes. If you’re in an area prone to wildfires, take steps to limit your exposure: https://go.usa.gov/xfReB

If you need to evacuate after an earthquake, make sure your “go kit” is armed with protection for #COVID19 as well. Pack soap, alcohol-based hand sanitizer, and plenty of face coverings. https://go.usa.gov/xGyNE #Prepare2Protect

Need shelter after an earthquake? Your shelter location may be different during the #COVID19Pandemic. Check ahead and make it part of your earthquake communications plan. https://go.usa.gov/xGyNE #Prepare2Protect

Remember to practice social distancing if you evacuate or need to find a public shelter. Keep practicing prevention by washing your hands often, cover coughs and sneezing and avoid sharing food and drink with others if possible. https://go.usa.gov/xGyNE #Prepare2Protect

Make sure your #winter safety kits include cloth face coverings and hand sanitizer, just in case. You never know when you may need to evacuate or seek public shelter. #Plan2Protect
