Alaska is only a little more than halfway through its wildfire season, designated by state law as April 1 – Aug. 31. As we continue through the season, we want to share some air quality resources.

  • Air Quality Advisories and Episodes: This map and list of air quality alerts is maintained by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation’s Division of Air Quality.
  • Wildfires: Information on steps you can take before, during, and after a fire is provided by AirNow, the U.S. Air Quality Index website.
  • AirNow also provides a fire and smoke map in both a desktop version and a mobile app.

The EPA has put together a set of videos, fact sheets, and outreach ideas to help raise awareness about air pollution in Alaska communities.

The video and fact sheets below address the main air quality issues for native villages in Alaska:

  • Diesel emissions.
  • Indoor air quality.
  • Road dust.
  • Solid waste burning.
  • Wood Smoke

Fact Sheets

Additional videos and more info may be found on the EPA’s Alaska Tribal Air Toolkit web page.
