The Chelan-Douglas Health District Board has approved a resolution declaring a wildfire smoke and hazardous air quality emergency. The Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) has requirements and recommendations for protecting workers during wildfire smoke events, including respiratory protection and work practice controls. • If indoor air quality cannot be maintained below an AQI of 201, individuals should relocate to a safer location with cleaner air. During periods of wildfire smoke, CDHD recommends everyone take steps to reduce smoke exposure:• Monitor local air quality conditions before spending time outdoors. • Seek cleaner air shelters or other public spaces with filtered air if you cannot maintain healthy indoor air at home.
