Plan one lower-load room for smoke days — without confusing it with fire shelter.
Coordinate a closable room, filtration, outdoor-air control, heat, power and communications for wildfire-smoke periods when official guidance says remaining indoors is appropriate. Evacuation instructions always take priority.
01 · Authority + room
First decide whether staying indoors is even appropriate.
02 · Heat + continuity
Clean air is not useful if the room becomes unusable.
Indicative result
The clean-air room plan is incomplete.
Resolve the open items before relying on the room during a smoke event. Filtration, outdoor-air control, heat and power need to work together.
Current evacuation / emergency instructions have not been checked.A closable candidate room has not been confirmed.Windows / doors and obvious air-leakage points have not been checked.Filtration strategy and equipment suitability are unknown.HVAC / outdoor-air behaviour during smoke has not been confirmed.Closed-room heat conditions have not been assessed.Power-loss behaviour for filtration, cooling, charging and communications is not documented.Official alerts / communications are not confirmed for the room.Basic short-duration room supplies and access needs have not been reviewed.
Smoke planning and fire evacuation are different decisions.
A cleaner-air room can help reduce smoke exposure when public-health and emergency guidance supports staying indoors. It is not a refuge from an approaching wildfire, radiant heat or structure fire. Follow evacuation orders and official alerts immediately.
