Wildfires move fast, leaving little time to evacuate. Beyond flames, smoke exposure creates severe respiratory risks, even hundreds of miles away.

Steps to prepare:

• Create a defensible space around your home (clear brush, store wood away).
• Keep N95 masks on hand for smoke protection.
• Sign up for local evacuation alerts.
• Pack “go bags” for every family member-including pets.

In 2020, ER visits for asthma and COPD spiked during wildfire season. Preparedness protects both property and health.

Today’s Step: Check if you have at least one N95 mask per household member. If not, add it to your emergency kit.
