- □ We have easy meals and drinks available for several indoor days.
- □ Higher-risk family members have an individualized medical plan.
During poor air quality
- □ We checked current AQI and official local instructions.
- □ Windows and doors are closed and filtration is running.
- □ We reduced particle-producing activities indoors.
- □ Outdoor exercise and errands were adjusted for current conditions.

- □ We know which symptoms require medical help.
After smoke conditions improve
- □ We confirmed AQI and local guidance before opening the home.
- □ Ash and residue are being cleaned with appropriate precautions.
- □ HVAC and portable-air-cleaner filters were inspected.
