1. Air Quality Alert

King County Public Health:   Wildfire smoke Basic health messages  << Go Here

Take these steps to protect your health on smoky days:
1. Check the air quality forecast
2. Stay indoors as much as possible when the air quality is at unhealthy levels
3. Limit vigorous physical activity outdoors when the air quality is poor
4. Keep indoor air clean
5. If your health condition gets worse around smoke, contact your health care provider

 Prepare for wildfire smoke season:
  • Wildfire smoke preparedness during COVID-19 pandemic
  • Consider getting an air purifier. Air purifiers with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter will reduce the number of irritating fine particles in indoor air. A HEPA filter with charcoal will help remove some of the gases from the smoke. Do not use an air purifier that produces ozone. More information: EPA's Indoor Air Filtration Factsheet (PDF)  
    DIY Air Filter  https://pscleanair.gov/525/DIY-Air-Filter 
    You can use tape instead of brackets to hold furnace filter on box fan.

  • If you have asthma or another respiratory condition, make sure you have an inhaler or other medications that you might need. Make an asthma management plan with your healthcare provider.

  • Make plans for indoor activities for kids on smoky days. Consider what your children can do if they need to stay indoors when smoke levels are "unhealthy for sensitive groups" or worse.

  • Schools, camps, sports teams, and daycare providers should make plans for smoky days. Plan to postpone outdoor activities or move them indoors when smoke levels are "unhealthy for sensitive groups" or worse. Air Pollution and School Activity Guide.
Masks and wildfire smoke:
The right mask and proper fit can reduce your exposure to wildfire smoke, but they don’t work for everyone. This info is also available in PDF format.
1. Wearing a mask may worsen existing medical conditions
2. Some masks offer limited protection
3. Masks must fit tightly
