Local Air Quality Alert for Nov. 8

Due to wildfires along the Palisades Parkway in New Jersey, the air quality in NYC and on the CUIMC campus may be impacted by smoke and higher than normal particulate counts.

Everyone is encouraged to limit their strenuous outdoor activities today. Active children and adults, and people with respiratory problems, such as asthma, should reduce prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors.

Help us protect our campus by closing and locking all windows, blinds, and doors each day, especially in spaces that are not normally occupied.

Additionally, please call 911 immediately and then Public Safety at 212-305-7979 if you have an on-campus fire emergency.
