1) People with heart or lung disease, older adults, children and teens should take any of these steps to reduce their exposure:

• Avoid strenuous outdoor activities.
• Keep outdoor activities short.
• Consider moving physical activities indoors or rescheduling them.

2) Everyone else should take any of these steps to reduce thier exposure:

• Choose less strenuous activities (like walking instead of running) so you don’t breathe as hard.
• Shorten the amount of time you are active outdoors.
• Be active outdoors when air quality is better.

The Township will continue to monitor the air quality as a result of the smoke for the next 24 hours and will make a determination on or before 2:00 P.M. on Thursday if the fields will be re-opened.
