Air Quality Status

Normal At This Time

In poor Air Conditions the Environmental Protection Agency recommends:

- Keep windows and doors closed.

- Use fans and air conditioning to stay cool. If you cannot stay cool, seek shelter elsewhere.

- Reduce the smoke that enters your home.

- If you have an HVAC system with a fresh air intake, set the system to recirculate mode, or close the outdoor intake damper.

- If you have a window air conditioner, close the outdoor air damper. If you cannot close the damper, do not use the window air conditioner. Make sure that the seal between the air conditioner and the window is as tight as possible.

- If you have a portable air conditioner with a single hose, typically vented out of a window, do not use it in smoky conditions because it can result in more smoke being brought inside. If you have a portable air conditioner with two hoses, make sure that the seal between the window vent kit and the window is as tight as possible.

- Only use air conditioning when indoor recirculation is achievable.

- Avoid strenuous activity during smoky times to reduce how much smoke you inhale.

- Air out your home by opening windows or the fresh air intake on your HVAC system when the air quality improves.
