MCSO wants you to be safe. Please use these suggestions. Today's ozone forecast is Code Orange, which is considered unhealthy for sensitive groups. Children and active adults, and people with respiratory diseases, such as asthma, should limit prolonged outdoor exertion. A Code Orange day is an Ozone Action Day. Mecklenburg County employees can take steps to reduce air pollution on Ozone Action Days. Below are some actions that you can take to help reduce ozone pollution at home: • Trip-chain while running errands. • Use electric or hand-powered lawn equipment. • Wait until after 6pm to use gas-powered equipment on Code Orange, Red or Purple days. #beattheheat #keepingyousafe
