Wildfire smoke can travel hundreds of miles and affect anyone, especially children, pregnant people, older adults, and those with heart or lung conditions.

During smoky conditions:

  • Check your local Air Quality Index before going outside.
  • Keep windows and doors closed.
  • Run a portable air cleaner or filtered HVAC system.
  • Avoid strenuous outdoor activity.
  • Wear a properly fitted NIOSH-approved N95 or P100 respirator when outdoor exposure is unavoidable.
  • Follow evacuation instructions immediately.

Seek urgent medical care for severe breathing difficulty, chest pain, confusion, fainting, or worsening symptoms.
