Safety Guidelines: After a Wildfire

The Safety Guidelines: After a Wildfire website provides guidance for individuals returning to wildfire-affected areas. It advises on air quality monitoring, ash safety, post-wildfire cleanup, and protecting vulnerable groups like children and those with respiratory and other chronic conditions. The resource also covers driving safely through affected areas, handling contaminated water sources, and addressing emotional well-being by connecting with support resources like SAMHSA's Disaster Distress Helpline.
