Smoke Preparation

Wildfires in northwest Jackson County and in central Oregon will continue to bring smoke and decreased air quality to portions of southwest Oregon and Northern California through at least Monday afternoon. Smoke is expected to spread eastward and southeastward today and tonight across eastern Douglas, Jackson, Klamath, Lake and at times, into Josephine, Siskiyou and Modoc counties. Monitor air quality conditions at fire.airnow.gov and avoid going outdoors during periods of lowered air quality.

With wildfire smoke accumulating in parts of northern California and southern Oregon, knowing the steps that can be taken to limit smoke in your home can reduce its impact on your day-to-day life. Fixing seals on windows, stocking up on air filters, maintaining your air conditioner, and using HEPA filters are all ways to create a "defensible space" of higher air quality in your home. And while masks can help during time outdoors, bring aware of areas with cleaner air (malls, libraries, civic centers) is another way to stay safe during times of poor air quality.
