Color-Coded California Air

AQMD flag guide
School children across the Southland now know how good (or bad) the air they're breathing is with dozens of local schools now hoisting flags notifying residents about air quality on campus flagpoles. The banners -- from green (good) to purple (very unhealthy) -- are part of an two-year South Coast AQMD pilot program, and will wave just below Old Glory and the California Grizzlie Bear.

Providencia Elementary in Burbank was among the first to raise the flag this morning in a ceremony with county Supervisor Mike Antonovich.

It was green. Feel free to inhale until tomorrow. Click here for a full-size PDF of the smog guide.

East of the 5

The news and views from Glendale, Burbank and adjacent 'hoods, brought to you by Daily News reporter Alex Dobuzinskis (And yes, we know a chunk of Burbank is WEST of the 5, but "Mostly East of the 5" doesn't quite have the same ring to it.)
