Some communities have air filters that folx can borrow for the purposes of COVID-19 safety, though they also come in handy for fire scenarios. Fun fact is that one of these such grassroots orgs based in LA is a furry-led group known as "COVID-19 Safe Furs". They also offer masks and rapid tests.

They are regularly dropping masks to evacuation sites as we speak!
