10-01-2013 Smoke Blog Now Deactivated
Due to lessening wildfire risk, this Washington Smoke Information Blog has been deactivated. It will be available again next fire season if needed. In the meantime, the best place to learn about current air quality conditions in Washington is from the Department of Ecology at this site: https://fortress.wa.gov/ecy/enviwa/
The goal of this blog is to provide coordinated, timely and public �one-stop information� so that individuals can make informed decisions to protect their health during periods when wildfire smoke is impacting the public. During a wildfire smoke incident, this blog will be used to provide links to critical information that the public may be concerned about, such as air quality conditions and forecasts, school and activity closures, burn bans, location of clean air shelters, and travel restrictions due to visibility. Information posted on the blog is coordinated by an informal team of state, federal, tribal and local agencies striving to provide consistent and accurate information during air quality smoke incidents from wildfires.
The links on this blog that connect to the various agencies that provide information on smoke, wildfire and health management will continue to work.
We would like to hear from you if you have questions or comments. Please contact Janice Peterson at jlpeterson@ fs.fed.us
Thank you for your interest.
