Air quality

Air quality and wildfire smoke monitoring in one readiness routine

AQI can become a daily planning input for families, outdoor workers, travelers, schools, and anyone sensitive to smoke or pollution.

Air quality numbers are most useful when they are checked with nearby weather, fire, power, and transportation context. A bad AQI day may require different actions depending on where the smoke is coming from and what local agencies are saying.
