Check the air quality in your area to get real-time conditions to let you know if it’s safe for outdoor activities. Stay inside with your windows and doors closed, and set on your A/C unit to re-circulate if there’s poor air quality in your area. If you must go outside wear an N95 or P100 mask.

N95 masks can filter out pollutants, including smoke from fires, and make breathing safer. If you must go outside when there’s smoke in the air, wear an N95 mask to protect your health.
