Box fan filter kits and N95 masks available via Clean Air Methow

Clean Air Methow has a limited supply of box fan filter kits and N95 masks available to community members who cannot afford to purchase or source these items themselves. If you or someone you know qualifies, please email cleanair@mvcitizens.org and provide your name, phone number, and email and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

A box fan filter kit includes a household box fan, merv-13 filter, and bungee cord. When used appropriately a box fan filter can drastically improve your indoor air quality. Please see this video on how to setup and use a box fan filter.

If you must be outside in heavy smoke, an N95 mask is essential. Cloth masks provide very little protection from wildfire smoke. It’s important to know what masks work, how to get a good fit, and considerations for children.  

To learn more about how to protect your health and access clean air during times of poor air quality conditions, see Clean Air Methow’s Smoke Ready Checklist and these recommendations from the Washington Department of Health.
