Traveling and Recreating in a Burned Area

Vector-Borne Diseases can be transmitted to people from insects and other animals. 

 Toxic Algal Bloom   Please use caution when recreating near affected areas. Current Alert for Pit River Tributary South Fork, Jess Valley area of the south Warner Mountains
While harmful algal blooms (HABs) are caused by algae or cyanobacteria that grow suspended in the water column (planktonic), some algae grow attached to the bottom (benthic) and can form algal mats. Some species can produce toxins, and if present, can pose a risk to humans and pets.
Here are a few actions to keep in mind:
*Heed all instructions on posted advisories if present.
*Avoid algae and scum in the water and onshore.
*Keep an eye on children and your pets (dogs).
*If you think an algal mat is present, do not let pets and other animals go into or drink the water, or eat scum and algal accumulations on the shore.
*If you think an algal mat is present, reduce the potential for inhalation of sprays or mists by avoiding areas downwind of the bloom, and activities near the bloom that could kick up spray such as splashing.
*Don’t drink the water or use it for cooking.
* Wash yourself, your family, and your pets with clean water after water- play in the affected area.
*If you catch fish, throw away guts and clean fillets with tap water or bottled water before cooking
