A widespread Air Quality Advisory is in effect. Take the following precautions to protect yourself and your loved ones.

STAY UP-TO-DATE ON AIR QUALITY CONDITIONS
• View near real-time air quality conditions from the DNR’s statewide air monitoring network.
• Download the free WisconsinAQM mobile app to receive air quality updates from anywhere using a mobile device. Download in the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.
• View current wildfire and smoke conditions across North America with the AirNow Fire and Smoke map.
• Sign up to receive air quality advisory notices to your email inbox or via text.
• Sign up to receive customizable EnviroFlash air quality notifications.

If you must go outdoors during wildfire smoke events, be sure to:
• Check air quality conditions before leaving the house and throughout the day.
• Avoid or limit exercising outdoors.
• Wear an N-95 mask.
• OSHA has a comprehensive website with safety tips and resources to help employers and workers reduce their exposure to smoke during wildfires.
• The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health offers resources for outdoor workers exposed to wildfire smoke.
• For more information and resources on wildfire smoke, visit the EPA's Smoke-Ready toolbox page.

PROTECT YOURSELF
The best way to prevent breathing particles from wildfire smoke is to stay indoors.
• Close windows and doors.
• Run A/C on recirculate with a new high-efficiency filter.
• Keep indoor air clean by:
o Avoiding activities that increase indoor air pollution, such as vacuuming, burning candles, frying foods or using gas appliances.
o Reducing airborne dust by using a damp cloth to dust the home and trap the particles rather than a dry cloth or duster that might make them airborne again.
• Use an indoor air purifier.
• Cancel outdoor events or move them indoors, especially for children.
• Create a DIY temporary air filter.
