Course Description: This course is for tribal employees who have some background in air quality and want to learn about the impacts of wildland smoke on their communities and how to minimize exposure. This course will include a pre-course comprised of a series of video recordings that will be view by participants outside of the live session. Much of the course content is conveyed in these recordings. Participants will use the knowledge gained about wildland fire risk communication, smoke models, portable air monitors, sensors, and air filters to develop an educational outreach plan to educate their tribal community about wildland smoke and its health effects.
