1. Close windows, doors, and fireplace/woodstove dampers, and minimize use of forced air heaters and air conditioners to prevent ash and gases from getting
inside the home.
2. Replace or clean furnace filters frequently.
3. Use an N-95 disposable respirator (available at some hardware stores) while outdoors or while cleaning up ash that has gotten indoors; if an N-95 mask
is not available, use a nuisance dust mask as an alternative.
4. Wear goggles while outdoors, or while cleaning up ash that has gotten indoors.
5. Keep your skin covered to avoid irritation from contact with ash.
6. Avoid driving.
7. Avoid drinking water that has ash in it.
8. Wet ash prior to clean-up to avoid resuspention of particulates.
9. Clear roofs of ash in excess of four inches.
10. Pay attention to warnings, and comply with instructions from local authorities (i.e., local health officials will inform the public when it is safe to go outside, drive, drink water, etc.).
11. Seek medical attention if substantial respiratory symptoms develop.
