- Keep doors and windows closed to prevent smoke from entering your homes.
- Protect outdoor furniture from ember burns by covering it.
- Remove pool covers to prevent damage from embers.
- Take down washing from clotheslines.
- Provide a protected area for your pets.
- When driving, slow down, keep windows up, and turn on headlights.
- If you have asthma or a lung condition, limit outdoor activities. Seek medical advice if you experience breathing difficulties due to smoke.
