Gov. Kathy Hochul says more than 1 million masks will be made available throughout the state.
On a state level, Hochul said more than 1 million masks would be made available through the state with 400,000 at state facilities and another 600,000 at state Homeland Security stockpiles for local governments to pick up. Jack Caravanos, a clinical professor of environmental public health sciences at NYU, toldThe state is also offering fire rangers to Canada to help get the fires under control.
“Outdoors is dangerous in just about every part of our state. Not just vulnerable communities but literally everyone — we normally are accustomed to talking about children, babies, people with compromised immune system senior citizens, but this is something that's having an effect on everyone,” Hochul said. “We're recommending that people cancel their outdoor activities. You don't need to go out and run tonight. You don't need to go out and take a walk.
“We have all seen, smelled, and the pictures really speaks volumes as you look at the Empire State Building that's engulfed,” Adams said. “On the levels of health concerns, that is clearly alarming for all New Yorkers. This is the highest level index of our knowledge since the 60s.” Due to the difficulty of predicting smoke movement, the city could not provide guidance for more than a day in advance, the mayor said.
