Be ready for the next wildfire smoke event!

When wildfires are burning in and around the Mojave Desert Air Basin, the risk of smoke exposure is a real concern. Whether you or your friends and family suffer from heart and respiratory illnesses, are in early or elderly years, are active outdoors on a regular basis — or even if you're a healthy adult — anyone can be affected by unhealthful air quality.

The Mojave Desert AQMD has developed informational sheets, with the help of our friends at Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District, to guide you to clean air.

Download and keep these PDFs handy so the next time a wildfire threatens to impact our air quality with harmful smoke, you're prepared to reduce your risk of exposure.
