The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality monitors smoke and re...ports up-to-date information about the air quality in your area. Smoke levels can change rapidly depending on weather. Check current conditions on DEQ’s Air Quality Index
here: https://oraqi.deq.state.or.us/home/map or https://wildfire.oregon.gov/ as a place to get information on fires, evacuation orders, and air quality.
To limit your exposure to smoke:
• Stay inside if possible. Keep windows and doors closed.
• Avoid strenuous outdoor activity.
• Be aware of smoke in your area and avoid places with the
highest levels.
• Use high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters. These can
be portable filters or can be installed in indoor heating,
ventilation, cooling and air purification systems.
• If you have heart or lung disease or asthma, follow your
healthcare provider’s advice.
• If smoke levels are hazardous, consider leaving the area. If
you choose to leave the area, remember to take face
coverings and hand sanitizer with you to help protect
yourself and others from COVID-19. See More
