Regional Smoke Risk Outlook

BC Southern Interior & OkanaganAQHI 7 (High Risk)

At-risk individuals should stay indoors. Keep windows sealed with HEPA filtration.

Calgary - Edmonton CorridorAQHI 6 (Moderate Risk)

Consider reducing prolonged outdoor strenuous exercise if experiencing coughing or throat irritation.

Saskatchewan & Manitoba PlainsAQHI 4 (Moderate Risk)

Air quality generally acceptable for general population. Sensitive groups monitor symptoms.

Wildfire Smoke Health Advice

Wildfire smoke contains fine particulate matter (PM2.5) that penetrates deep into lungs and bloodstream. During High or Very High AQHI events, avoid strenuous outdoor physical activities, run HEPA indoor air purifiers, and wear well-fitted N95 masks when outdoors.

🚨

Evacuation Alert vs. Order

An Evacuation Alert informs residents to prepare an emergency "grab-and-go" kit, pack vital documents and medications, and fuel vehicles. An Evacuation Order mandates immediate departure along designated emergency egress corridors due to imminent life safety peril.

Dispersion Forecasting Science

Smoke plume movement is dictated by high-altitude jetstream dynamics, atmospheric inversion caps, and local valley thermal winds. Our predictive timeline tracks multi-tier vertical dispersion models updated twice daily.
