We know poor air quality from wildfire smoke hits the most vulnerable the hardest. Oftentimes, they are seniors, children, pregnant people and people working outdoors. Smoke from larger and more frequent wildfires is having an impact on asthma, cancer and mental health.
I'm curious about this: In your emergency preparedness and disaster management, are you connecting with the after-impacts of both post-traumatic stress and the clear impacts on health and well-being?
