In times of fierce wildfires and other natural disasters, we often feel helpless and hopeless. It is important in these times to remember that there are always things that can be done to be helpful, ready and prepared. And don\u2019t forget to pray, pray as if Creator herself is listening. Send out healing energy, and remember\u2014there are likely thousands of other people just like us, praying, sending forth light, and calling in the rain.<\/p>

On the practical side, be sure to have all of your first aid items in order, and a good supply of food and water on hand, as well as your flashlight and any other emergency items you might need. Keep those photo albums and other family treasures loaded up and ready to go.<\/p>

Wildfires create special health issues for those who live close to them. Long-term exposure to smoke and poor air quality as well as the fear, stress and anxiety caused by fires can be extremely taxing. But we are not helpless. While we may not be able to put the fire out, there is a lot we can do to improve air quality in our homes, and protect our health and the health of our families and neighbors.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
