Smoke warnings don't arrive soon enough - Wildfire Today

A new study report from the University of Oregon suggests that public warnings on wildfire smoke air quality often aren't issued till after smoke has already swept into the area. The report details recommendations on better communications by public institutions about wildfire smoke and health risks -- so that local residents have more time to prepare. More than half of wildfire-related tweets by 32 institutional accounts in 2022 were posted at peak levels of smoke when exposure risk was highest.
