This is Smoke Ready Week, an effort by local, state, federal, and tribal agencies to raise awareness about possible wildfires this summer and fall.

Today's focus -- resources you can use to track air quality, like NWCAA's monitors (https://t.co/MknKbru7LS).

Be #SmokeReady!

It's #TestItTuesday.
Today, let's test our escape plans.
Fire is DARK! Most people in your community will think it is bright because of flames. Remind them it dark from smoke. The smoke will disorient them. The best way to know where to go, is practice.

Check the label
