For Your Health

As winter comes to Cache Valley, the Bear River Health Department wants you to stay informed about air quality. It is important to remember that our red days only occur a few times in the winter, but we need to know how to protect our health. On red air days: Everyone can REDUCE extended heavy outdoor activity. That means activities that are outside and last for several hours that make you breathe harder than normal. Those with heart and lung disease, older adults and children should AVOID activities that are outside that last for several hours and that make you breathe harder than normal. On red air days we can reduce driving and follow the no wood burning ordinance The most current air quality can be found at www.brhd.org of you can receive a text to your phone with the most current air quality and when the air quality changes by following us on twitter. Visit www.twitter.com for more information on how to do this. You can find us on Twitter @bearriverhealth. The Bear River Health Department encourages everyone to protect their health on unhealthy air days and is committed to providing information on current air quality and resources on how to protect your health.
