As wildfire smoke from Canada plagued parts of the United States for the second time this summer, expanding into parts of the Midwest and East Coast, cities were caught unprepared. While a few put out alerts, outreach was limited. People walked through the smoke, often with little understanding of the health risks. Once the risks were clear, some people donned masks to prevent lung damage.
