PPHD declares health emergency.
“PASADENA, Calif. — Pasadena Public Health Department (PPHD) Acting Health Officer, Dr. Parveen Kaur, has declared a local public health emergency due to the widespread impacts of Eaton Fire, including the presence of ash and particulate matter in the air throughout the community.
Ash and debris pose a significant potential current and future risk to health, safety, and the environment. PPHD is declaring a local health emergency to ensure residents take appropriate measures to protect themselves from toxic ash and debris, as well as proactively positioning the city to access County, State, and Federal resources and programs that will be critical to the rebuilding process.”
Downvote me to oblivion, but there are active, ongoing, and long term risks. Just because the AQI is in the green zone does not mean it is safe and business as usual.
