What to do now

  • Follow fire and smoke updates and do exactly what local authorities say.
  • Be ready to leave at short notice with your grab bag.
  • Leave if told to, or if you feel unsafe, even without an official order.
  • If smoky, stay inside with windows shut and set air conditioning to recirculate.
  • Avoid burning anything indoors, including candles, incense and gas, and skip vacuuming.
  • If you must go outside, wear a well-fitted N95 or P100 respirator.
  • Watch people with asthma, heart disease, diabetes or pregnancy for new symptoms and get help early.
