  2. Currently, multiple wildfires are occurring in Southern California and Arizona. As the dry climate continues to create favorable conditions for wildfires, please take note of the following: (1) Stay informed of the latest updates from daily reports and local authorities, and prepare for disasters. (2) When going out, check traffic information and the situation around your destination, as road closures due to wildfires may occur. (3) Do not approach wildfire-affected areas out of curiosity. (4) In preparation for potential evacuation, ensure you have essential disaster supplies ready, including your passport, and keep them accessible at all times.
  3. Wildfires also cause air pollution due to smoke. Even if you are far from the fire, smoke can spread over long distances depending on wind direction, and air pollution may adversely affect your health. Elderly individuals, young children, and those with respiratory issues should avoid outdoor activities if they detect smoke or odor. If outdoor activity is unavoidable, wear a mask.
