"tips from Inside Climate News:

—When venturing outside, use N95 masks, and while driving, run the AC on recirculate mode."

‪

—Protect yourself from ash exposure by wearing a hat, goggles, mask, and full-length clothing, and remove shoes before entering your home. If you have pets, use paw protection and bathe them frequently.

—For indoor protection, seal any window gaps with tape and operate AC or central fans on recirculate mode. If using air purifiers, choose one with both HEPA and activated carbon filters, replacing them every few weeks, or consider building a DIY air purifier using a box fan with appropriate filters

‪

—Maintain a rigorous indoor cleaning schedule as smoke and ash will inevitably infiltrate your space.
