Background
As California’s wildfire seasons have intensified and lengthened over the course of recent years, an increasing number of Californians have been impacted by the negative health effects of exposure to wildfire smoke. The passage of AB 836 (Wicks) in 2019 allocated a total of $5 million in funding to create a statewide network of clean air centers where Californians who are being impacted by wildfire smoke may seek respite. This workshop is intended to provide Clean Air Centers Pilot Program information to prospective applicants located within the Valley Air District boundaries.
Please note that the Bay Area Air Quality Management District and South Coast Air Quality Management Districts are implementing the Clean Air Centers Program for their respective regions and the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association is implementing the program for all other regions of the state. For information regarding Clean Air Centers in regions outside of the San Joaquin Valley, please contact the appropriate entity for that area.

Antecedentes
A medida que las temporadas de incendios forestales de California se han intensificado y alargado en el transcurso de los últimos años, un número cada vez mayor de Californianos se ha visto afectado por los efectos negativos para la salud de la exposición al humo de los incendios forestales. La aprobación de AB 836 (Wicks) en 2019 asignó un total de $5 millones en fondos para crear una red estatal de centros de aire limpio donde los Californianos afectados por el humo de los incendios forestales pueden buscar un alivio. Este taller está destinado a proporcionar información sobre el Programa Piloto de Centros de Aire Limpio a los posibles solicitantes ubicados dentro del área de los límites del Distrito del Aire del Valle de San Joaquín.
Tenga en cuenta que los Distritos del Aire del Área de la Bahía y la Costa Sur están implementando el Programa de Centros de Aire Limpio para sus respectivas regiones y la California Air Pollution Control Officers Association está implementando el programa para todas las demás regiones del estado. Para obtener información sobre los Centros de Aire Limpio en regiones fuera del Valle de San Joaquín, comuníquese con la entidad correspondiente para esa área.
