One of our missions here at Drx is to provide consumers with new media tools to improve their health care experience. With this in mind I thought I'd peruse the net and see what other helpful resources are floating around that can be useful for health minded summer fun.
1. Air Now - Co government sponsored web site for air quality updates that you can even receive by email.
They carry a good deal of content relating to smoke and other air quality concerns, how to manage them, and what precautions to take.
2. Heal The bay - they have a weekly report card for beaches in California. Very helpful and reliable information broken down by county for easy navigation to your nearest beach of choice.
3. Google Maps Mobile - if you lack GPS or feel you can find point B with a good sense of direction google maps mobile is a great tool for summer road trips. Up to the minute traffic reports on your phone is indispensable.
National Interagency Fire Center can also be useful...I was in Jackson, California this past weekend doing the country thing and had to make some adjustments to the trip because of local fires.
I would suggest trying to contact your local parks and rec dpt to get the latest on forest fires in your area and which roads or highways may be closed as a result.
Save yourself some headaches.
