Interesting. Thanks, Darell.
I hope that some day the word can be easily gotten out to all ("We interrupt
your email program to bring you this special announcement...?"). It would
be desirable for folks to not drive, but how can they comply if they don't
even know? I think it was last summer when an alert day info was published
in the Oregonian...in very small type on the weather page -- should have
been on page one! So, you get people driving when they shouldn't, and it's
hard to tell if they CARE about the air, when probably most of them don't
even know...

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Smog Alert for 7/11
DEQ has declared a Clean Air Alert for tomorrow. This is a"yellow",
moderate, air pollution prevention advisory for the Portland-Vancouver
area
issued by the DEQ Clean Air Action Day program in conjunction with the
Southwest Washington Clean Air Agency. While the region is not likely to
go
over the federal clean air standard tomorrow, individuals who experience
breathing problems may feel the effects of tomorrow's pollution levels
more
dramatically. The weather forecast is for high temperatures and low winds,
which may cause higher-than-normal smog levels in the Portland-Vancouver
area.
