Frequently Asked Questions

How is wildfire smoke risk calculated?

Smoke risk scores combine multiple factors: proximity to recent wildfires, county fire frequency over 5 years, FEMA NRI wildfire risk rating, and fires within 100km. Higher scores indicate greater smoke exposure risk during fire season (typically June–November).

How can I protect myself from wildfire smoke?

Use a HEPA air purifier indoors during smoke events, wear N95 or KN95 masks outdoors, seal windows and doors, and monitor AirNow.gov for real-time air quality. Create a clean room in your home with the purifier running.
