Air Quality Advisory
Smoke from the fires in Northern Sacramento Valley is expected to impact air quality in the eastern portion of the Bay Area down to Santa Clara Valley on Friday and Saturday. Residents in affected areas should stay alert to news coverage and health warnings related to smoke. Check air quality at fire.airnow.gov and take steps to protect your health from smoke. Learn how at www.baaqmd.gov/wildfiresafety. Pollution levels are not expected to exceed the national 24-hour health standard. A Spare the Air Alert is not in effect.

Community Air Risk Evaluation (CARE) Program
Despite large reductions in air pollution, some communities in the Bay Area still experience higher pollution levels and health effects, when compared to others. The Community Air Risk Evaluation (CARE) program represents a critical step toward reducing health disparities in Bay Area communities linked to air quality. The Goals of the CARE Program are to:
- Identify areas within the Bay Area where air pollution is most contributing to health impacts and where populations are most vulnerable to air pollution impacts;
- Apply sound science to design and focus effective mitigation measures in areas with highest impacts; and
- Engage the communities and other stakeholders (local industry, government agencies, etc.) in the program to craft mitigations that extend beyond what the Air District could do alone.
