Dear Neighbors,
The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency has extended the Air Quality Alert through Friday, July 17 at 11:59 PM. Air quality is currently at unhealthy levels, and residents, especially seniors, children, and those with respiratory conditions, should limit outdoor activity when possible.
As a reminder, the 6th Ward Office has free face masks available for seniors while supplies last. If you need a mask delivered, please call our office at 773-241-3100.
With temperatures expected to remain high through the weekend, please remember to:
- Stay hydrated and avoid prolonged outdoor activity.
- Check on seniors, neighbors, and vulnerable residents.
- Utilize City cooling centers if needed.
- Call 311 for well-being checks or shelter assistance.
For the latest air quality conditions and safety information, visit the City of Chicago OEMC website or AirNow.gov.
Stay safe and take care of one another.
