A screenshot of a map from AirNow.Gov shows air quality and smoke plumes on June 28, 2023, at 11:30 a.m.
The AirNow Fire and Smoke map is a collaborative effort between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Forest Service.
Kathy Hochul tweeted Wednesday afternoon that air quality health advisories were in effect for the state.
City administrators will be working to alert residents of the hazardous air conditions on public transit and via cell phone alert systems.
But Hochul advised residents to look up their zip codes on AirNow.gov for localized air quality readings.
