Prepare your Home for Smoke

1. Check weather and Air Quality Index (AQI) daily during wildfire season.
   • Recommended: AirNow ↑ or Spokane Regional Clean Air ↑

2. Seal drafts around windows and doors using weatherstripping or painter’s tape.

3. Replace HVAC filters with MERV 13 if your system can handle it.

4. Identify a clean room:
   • Choose a bedroom or small living room with few windows.
   • Close the door and seal gaps.
   • Run a HEPA or DIY air filter.
