When you and your doctor make the plan, be sure to include:

    Instructions for asthma medicines.
    What to do if your child has an asthma attack.
    When to call your doctor.
    Emergency telephone numbers.



Use this Asthma Action Plan at home, school, and with your babysitter. Be sure to give a copy of your child’s asthma plan to your child’s school (teacher, coach, nurse) and talk it over with them. In case of an attack, they will know what to do. If you follow the steps in this plan, you will help prevent your child from having asthma attacks.

Studies show that an estimated 70% of smoke from chimneys can actually reenter your home and your neighbor’s home. If you’re using a wood stove or fireplace and smell smoke in your home, it probably isn’t working as it should.  Contact a certified chimney sweep for help. www.epa.gov/burnwise
 



Did you know molds can be found almost anywhere? They can grow on almost any damp or wet surface. The way to control mold is to get rid of moisture. Find out more about triggers in your home.
