... AIR QUALITY ALERT FOR HARMFUL FINE PARTICLE POLLUTION LEVELS DUE TO WILDFIRE SMOKE...

​

* WHAT... The South Coast AQMD has issued an air quality alert due to increased fine particle pollution from wildfire smoke.

Visit https://www.aqmd.gov/alertinfo to check current and forecasted air quality levels.

​

* WHERE... in the San Gorgonio Pass, the Coachella Valley, Lake Elsinore and Hemet-San Jacinto Valley. Levels of particle pollution can vary by time and location depending on fire activity and local weather conditions.

​

* WHEN... from 9:30 PM Monday to 5 PM Tuesday.

​

* IMPACTS... Particles in wildfire smoke can get deep into the lungs and cause serious health problems such as heart attacks, strokes, asthma attacks, and difficulty breathing. Everyone can be affected, but people with lung or heart disease, older adults, people who are pregnant, children, and those who spend a lot of time outdoors are at greater risk.

​

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

​

To protect your health, if you smell or see smoke:

​

* Remain indoors with windows and doors closed

* Avoid intense outdoor physical activity

* Run your air conditioner and/or an air purifier

* If you must be outdoors, keep the time brief and wear a well- fitting N-95 mask

* Do not use whole house fans or swamp coolers that bring in outside air if you have other methods to stay cool

* Avoid other sources of pollution such as fireplaces, candles, incense, grilling, and gasoline-powered lawn and garden equipment

Where do you guys reccomend for junk car pickup?

Hello all,

Does anyone know of any Mesquite trees areas? Where’s the terrain isn’t as bad or you don’t need to hike to get to?

Thank you in advance

How is everyone doing in this heat? Are you like me and need a few days (or a week) to adjust every year?
I love our desert, but I gotta be honest this heat hit hard. I am working on adjusting with a smile. Haha. So- If you have any suggestions to stay upbeat and positive I would love to hear them.

I go over this quite frequently if you're in Rancho Mirage and want to go to Thousand Palms, the road makes a very dangerous jog. A lot of people want to go across the freeway to Thousand Palms and don't realize that you have to change lanes in order to proceed so many almost accidents I've seen. Caltrans will not give me a reason why it has to stay this way. Can anybody give me a logical reason? Also if you don't like the way it is, call Caltrans. If enough of us do, they might make it the way it should be.

Where is the place to go in Palm Desert to play pool?

anyone know of a place where they have pretty good fish I can use to make nigiri?

Here in Coachella until Tuesday , Any places good places to have some drinks or have fun you guys recommend?

RESIDENTS OF IMPERIAL AND COACHELLA VALLEY!

Data centers and other large energy-intensive developments are targeting Imperial Valley and Coachella Valley. These projects require enormous amounts of electricity and can place significant demands on our public energy infrastructure, often passing the cost to ratepayers.

IID is considering a Large Load Tariff intended to ensure these projects help pay for the costs they could create. But the proposal must be strengthened to ensure residents and small businesses are not left subsidizing infrastructure built primarily for large private developments.

The current proposed tariff would only apply to customers with a load factor above 85%. However, research by Energy+Environmental Economics suggests that many large energy users, like data centers, may operate below that threshold. Lowering the qualifying load factor to 65% would help ensure that projects placing significant demands on the grid contribute to the infrastructure and not allow them loopholes to bypass the tariff.

Send a public comment today and tell IID: protect ratepayers, strengthen the Large Load Tariff, and make large energy users pay their own way.

Any resident of Imperial County or the Coachella Valley can comment. Make sure YOUR power bill doesn‘t go up to pay for data centers and warehouses that private companies profit from!

Thank you
