However\, that relationship has been perturbed by post-colonial human development\, forest management practices\, and a disrupted climate. Continuing to live healthfully and safely in the Methow will require humans to shift many behaviors\, including preparations to cope with prolonged smoke episodes. Making these preparations is more accessible to some than others\, but the work of ensuring a thriving community and future belongs to all of us. Learn practical information about the health risks of smoke\, who is most vulnerable\, ways to reduce exposure\, and local programs and resources to build "smoke-ready communities."\n\nLiz Walker\, PhD\, is a mother of two\, toxicologist\, risk communicator\, and mountain runner who has spent her career managing complex collaborations of public health stakeholders.
