The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) has declared that today Tuesday June 27th is an Air Quality Action Day in our region for Particulate Matter (PM 2.5).
This is due in part to wildfires. More information can be found on the Air Now Fire and Smoke Map. Visit IDEM SmogWatch for more information.
