This program is a part of Climate Smart Glaciers larger Fire Community Resilience program which is focused on providing clean air during times of dangerous wildfire smoke. We focus predominantly on at risk populations as well as providing education on the dangers of wildfire smoke to the broader community. This program includes our work providing HEPA air filters to Childcare Facilities as well as distribution of HEPA filters to at risk individuals through Logan Health. Climate Smart has been working with partners in the community since 2020 and have distributed almost 200 HEPA filters to address the impacts of wildfire smoke.
