It has occurred to me that many people on the east coast are experiencing something of this caliber for the first time. I’ve been dealing with this almost every summer for nearly as long as I can remember. Ergo, helpful information post.

Moderate air quality means that health-wise, while it’s not great to be outside, if you’re not a sensitive group (elderly, asthma, heart condition, lung condition, very young), you won’t experience any health effects. Unhealthy for sensitive groups is exactly as it sounds, but we’re getting into “nobody do anything strenuous outside” territory. Unhealthy into hazardous is don’t exercise outside, don’t walk outside, don’t go outside unless you absolutely have to

If you have to go outside, wear a mask. Your best bet for smoke in the air is an N-95, which are sold at most hardware stores. Other masks work fine, but the best for smoke is N-95

When it comes to evacuation notices, there are three levels: level 1–get ready. Pack a suitcase or two. Clothes, toiletries, and things that absolutely cannot be replaced. It sucks. As someone who has done it, I’ve never felt more powerless than having to decide what was important enough to me that I wasn’t willing to let it burn. Level 2–get set. Pack the stuff up in the car. If you don’t have a car, reach out to neighbors. I don’t care if you’ve never spoken to them a day in your life. In an emergency situation you have to get out. Level 3–go. Leave and, if you’re the religious type, pray. It’s all you can do.

Edit: if the fire is coming towards a residential area, more specifically your residential area, and you have the means, take a hose and spray your house down. Just douse the motherfucker. It sounds unusual but wet houses are less likely to catch. Your water bill might jump, but at least you’ve got a house

Things are fucking scary right now. Breathe and plan. Do what you can. Regardless of what happens, you can make it through.

Ok real quick PSA regarding the smoke in New England/Southwest Canada (from someone who lives in California)

For those who don’t know, standard surgical masks (the kind most people use for covid) will not protect you from smoke. They aren’t made to filter particles that small. Please check and make sure your masks have an N95 rating or higher if you’re trying to protect yourself from smoke in the air, especially if you have respiratory problems.

You can get them at hardware stores and they usually look like this:

#every year we have fire season in California and every year I see people wearing surgical masks still #uh not sure what to tag this with #air quality #smoke safety #fire safety #new york #new jersey #ottowa #toronto #canada wildfires

New Jersey, Happening Now: Over 100 firefighters battle massive Elizabeth warehouse fire; 2 roofs collapse.

Elizabeth Mayor Christian Bollwage says the fire spread to three warehouses and caused two roofs to collapse. He says the warehouses are apart of the Singer factory that was built in the 1800s.

Bollwage says there are over 100 firefighters on scene, and fire crews are looking to stop the fire to prevent it from spreading to other buildings. He says School 52 is closed for the day and School 13 has a delayed opening. 🤔
