It's not too early to start preparing for wildfire season. seattletimes.com/seattle-news/c…

Today is the 2025 annual EDGE Symposium! We hope to see you there. edge.deohs.washington.edu/blog/join-us-2…

If you or someone in your family is sensitive to air pollution or has a health condition, talk with your healthcare provider before wildfire season begins. You may benefit from using an N95 respirator or other particulate mask during smoky conditions. pscleanair.gov/wildfires

It's #SmokeReadyWeek! Check out this detailed infographic from our partners Oregon State University about how to fight the effects of wildfire smoke on your body with food. ehsc.oregonstate.edu/resources/info…

Our member, Mary Crocker, has some great insights on how to protect kids from wildfire smoke. #SmokeReadyWeek

Improving your indoor air quality can significantly reduce your exposure to smoke. Simple actions like changing your filters regularly, using HEPA portable air cleaners, and limiting indoor activities that produce smoke can make a big difference. pscleanair.gov/wildfires
