Wildfire and smoke
Wildfire smoke map context for broader situational awareness
Wildfire smoke can travel far from the fire perimeter, change by the hour, and affect people who are nowhere near an evacuation zone.
A useful smoke check should include air quality, weather patterns, power reliability, transportation disruption, and official local instructions—not only a single plume or incident map.
