Graphic for the California Clean Air Centers Map, featuring a regional map with marked locations and a sidebar displaying details for the Vallejo Springtowne Library. The graphic highlights the purpose of the map: to help users find relief from wildfire smoke and air pollution. Key interactive features include permanent and temporary clean air center locations, address and contact information, operating hours, and on-site resources. Logos for the Clean Air Center and California Air Resources Board (CARB) are shown at the bottom, with a URL to access the map: arb.ca.gov/cleanaircenters.

Not everyone has access to clean indoor air. That's why CARB and local air districts created the California Clean Air Centers Map. Use it to find a safe place to go with filtered air during periods of intense wildfire smoke.

Infographic from the California Air Resources Board titled "DIY Air Cleaner Designs." It shows three types of air cleaners made with a 20"x20" box fan and MERV 13 air filters, labeled “Good,” “Better,” and “Best.” Good: One filter attached to the back of a fan. Better: Four filters forming a cube around the fan. Best: Five filters forming a cube base with the fan on top for optimal airflow. Materials listed: 20"x20" box fan (2012 or newer), 20"x20" MERV 13 air filters (1–5), duct tape or bungee cords, and optional cardboard for a shroud.

If portable air cleaners are not available during a wildfire, a DIY air cleaner can be assembled to help reduce smoke exposure.

✅ Use 2012 model fan or newer
✅Use MERV 13+ filters
✅Replace filters when dirty
