[quote=Anonymous]I'm in the midwest and we have very bad air quality due to the Canadian wildfire smoke. I check the weather a couple times a week, so I happened to see the little warning triangle and clicked to see that people should limit time outside, shut windows, and run an air purifier. Meanwhile, the neighbor is doing gardening and yard work, I see people pushing baby strollers aorund, and now that school is out kids are playing outside all day. The warning specified that kids in particular should not be outside, and even car travel should be postponed if at all possible. Why isn't this an alert that gets pushed out to cell phones the way tornado warnings and kidnapping alerts go out? And why don't other people pay attention to air quality? I assume this is more done in California and parts of Asia, where people are used to bad air quality days, and that as wildfires and dust storms continue globally and continue to affect us in the US, Americans may also be more aware and follow air quality alerts. But until then, why doesn't the government do better to inform all citizens? [/quote]
