A Note On Air Quality

While the air quality in the city sits at unhealthy levels try to minimize your time outside, for you and your pets. If you’re having trouble breathing Lyft is offering free to designated city shelters with filtered air:

“We are currently working with United Way’s 2-1-1 in San Francisco to offer free rides for individuals sensitive to poor air quality. Those that need a ride to a designated city shelter with filtered air can dial 2-1-1 for assistance.” 

They’re also handing out masks at their SF Lyft Hub (2300 26th St).

For real-time updates, we recommend following CAL Fire site and @CALFIRE_ButteCo on Twitter.
