        <headline>Air Quality Alert issued August 25 at 5:27PM MDT by NWS Albuquerque NM</headline>
        <description>The following message is transmitted at the request of the New
Mexico Departments of Health and Environment.

Smoke from the Medio Fire 2 miles east southeast of Nambe Reservoir
and 5 miles north northwest of the Santa Fe Ski Basin is expected to
bring smoke into Santa Fe County later tonight and Wednesday
morning. Communities that may see impacts include Santa Fe, Nambe,
Pojoaque, and Tesuque Pueblos and surrounding communities.

Anyone living in these areas should be prepared, especially between
9 pm tonight and 1100 am Wednesday. Since these impacts are expected
to occur overnight, taking precautions such as closing windows
before bedtime and turning off evaporative (swamp) coolers can
protect residents with pre-existing respiratory conditions such as
asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), interstitial
lung disease (ILD) or lung cancer, heart disease, adults over age
65, young children, and pregnant women if smoke concentrations
become unhealthy.

Remember, your eyes are your best tools to determine if it is safe
to be outside. Use the 5-3-1 Method available at
https://nmtracking.org/environment/air/FireAndSmoke.html.

If visibility is:

Under 5 miles, the air quality is unhealthy for young children,
adults over age 65, pregnant women, and people with heart
and/or lung disease, asthma or other respiratory illness.
Outdoor activity should be minimized.

Around 3 miles, young children, adults over age 65, pregnant
women, and people with heart and/or lung disease, asthma or other
respiratory illness should avoid all outdoor activities.

Around 1 mile, the air quality is unhealthy for everyone. People
should remain indoors and avoid all outdoor activities including
running errands. Unless an evacuation has been issued, stay inside
your home, indoor workplace, or in a safe shelter.

With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic affecting New Mexico and with the
wildfire season underway, New Mexicans will need to take extra
precautions. Smoke from wildfires may cause people to have more
severe reactions if they are infected COVID-19. The best way to
protect against the potentially harmful effects of wildfire smoke and
to reduce the spread of COVID-19 is to stay home and create a clean
indoor air space. NMDOH offers tips here:

New Mexicans will also need to take steps to keep their homes cool to
avoid heat-related illnesses. NMDOH offers tips here:
