Wildfire smoke is expected to affect air quality across western Oregon this week as winds shift from the west to the east.

Smoke can affect anyone's health, especially children, older adults, pregnant people, and those with heart or lung conditions. Take steps to reduce your exposure by staying informed about air quality and limiting time outdoors when smoke levels are high.
