Wildfire Smoke Relief Act provides equipment and shelter for those at risk from wildfire smoke.

The Wildfire Smoke Relief Act aims to help individuals affected by unhealthy air quality due to wildfires. It provides equipment like air filters and respirators to those at risk, including low-income individuals, parents with children under 19, pregnant women, and seniors. If this equipment is not enough, it also offers transitional shelter assistance. The act defines "individual at risk of wildfire smoke related illness" as someone living in an area with unhealthy air quality for at least three consecutive days due to a wildfire.
