What you should do

Keep the roads clear so emergency services can respond.
Close windows, doors, and air vents (this may only assist with reduced exposure for hours or a few days, as outside air will eventually enter the home).
Use appropriate air conditioner settings in the home and vehicles to prevent outside air coming in.
