Community Action 292: Learn Where to Find Clean-Air Centers
The Idea: Identify official locations that may provide cleaner indoor air during wildfire smoke or another serious air-quality event.
Why It Matters: Smoke and fine particles can worsen breathing and cardiovascular conditions and may affect children, older adults, pregnant people, outdoor workers, and others at elevated risk.
Try It Today: Check your city, county, public-health department, air-quality agency, or emergency-management website for clean-air center information.
Make It Work for You: Confirm whether a location is currently open, accessible, pet-friendly, supervised, and appropriate for your needs. Transportation, hours, capacity, and services may change during an incident. Monitor official air-quality information and follow healthcare guidance for individual conditions. A public center does not replace emergency medical care when someone has serious breathing difficulty, chest pain, confusion, or other severe symptoms.
Take It Further: Add several possible locations and transportation options to your household plan and discuss indoor-air preparation with qualified professionals.
