Vulnerahilityandlmpacts <br />Life Safety and Health: Wildfires can result in additional threats to life safety and health, such impacts <br />to water and air quality. Wildfires can severely affect the water quality due to soil erosion, increased <br />flooding, and the flow of debris with potential contaminants.-24e Additionally, wildfire smoke and ash can <br />travel miles and affect communities that are not directly impacted by the wildfires and reduce air quality <br />to unhealthy levels. The population exposed to wildfire smoke and ash can experience eyes, nose, throat, <br />and lung irritation, and it can make it hard to breath. Additionally, these conditions can impair visibility on <br />roads and have the potential to cause vehicle and maritime accidents. <br />Smoke and air pollution from wildfires that are occurring within or outside of the Country can result in <br />severe health hazards, especially for sensitive populations, including children, the elderly, and those with <br />respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Smoke generated by wildfire consists of visible and invisible <br />emissions that contain particulate matter (e.9., soot, tar, water vapor, and minerals), gases (e.9., carbon <br />24e United States Environmental Protection Agency.
