"A clean room is a room that is set up to keep levels of smoke and other particles as low as possible during wildfire smoke events. A clean room should be free from activities that create particles such as cooking or smoking, and the doors and windows should be kept closed to prevent smoke from getting in. A clean room can also contain a portable air cleaner that makes the air in the room cleaner than the rest of the home."

"The #NewMexico Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is made up of medical and non-medical volunteers from around the state who serve to help their fellow citizens in time of need. Currently, the MRC has over 2000 registered volunteers who help the Department of Health. These volunteers are the backbone of #volunteer organizations of our state."
Wildfires can spread rapidly giving only short notice to nearby residents and can quickly change air quality. Smoke from wildfires in neighboring regions and states could also impact your local air quality, although a fire could be far away. Using visibility is an easy way to gauge if it is okay to go outside.
Decide if you should remain indoors or if it's safe to go outdoors by taking a few easy actions, called the 5-3-1 Visibility Method.
