NSW Government - protect yourself from bushfire smoke

The smoke has been a major concern for many residents in the Goulburn electorate. I'm pleased to announce that we have been able to secure a supply of disposable P2/N95 face masks (or respirators) for the community.

The following centres are distribution locations:

Boorowa MPS Crookwell District Hospital Goulburn Recreation Area Goulburn Base Hospital Yass District Hospital

This type of mask is able to filter out very fine particles from the air when worn correctly. They help reduce exposure to bushfire smoke / poor air quality and the associated health effects.

NSW Health has compiled a handy document on how to protect yourself from bushfire smoke. Read here.
