Summary

The California wildfires have caused significant damage, prompting a need for reliable information on air quality. A SMS service has been created to provide residents with timely air quality reports and recommendations by sending their zip code to 206-274-5525. The initiative aims to ensure people without access to technology can stay informed and safe during the crisis. A volunteer developer built this service, Josh Atkin, is seeking feedback on social media platforms.
