Wildfire Smoke and Children

  • Before wildfire season:
    • Stock up on medicine. Store a 7 to 10-day supply of prescription medicines in a waterproof, childproof container to take with you if you evacuate.
    • Buy groceries you won’t need to cook. Frying or grilling especially can make indoor air pollution worse.
    • Talk to your child’s healthcare provider. If your child has asthma, allergies, or chronic health issues plan how they can stay indoors more often during a smoke event.
  • During a wildfire smoke event:
    • Pay attention to air quality reportsexternal icon. Follow instructions about exercise and going outside for “sensitive individuals.”
    • Check for school closings.
    • Remember that dust masks, surgical masks, bandanas and breathing through a wet cloth will not protect your child from smoke and that N95 respirator masks are not made to fit children and may not protect them.
    • Think about evacuating if your child has trouble breathing or other symptoms that do not get better.
    • If your child has severe trouble breathing, is very sleepy, or will not eat or drink, reduce their exposure to smoke and get medical help right away.
