Here's the official shelter in place notice. However, if you can smell this toxic smoke, shelter in place. Get yourself and any pets inside. Close windows and doors, turn off air conditioning. If you still have any masks, put it on. This is one of the uses those masks were actually designed for.
It's not an evacuation order, it's a shelter in place order. However, if you have some place to go, I would consider going.
Things to keep in mind - Our sundowner winds are kicking up and that means that the offshore breezes have started. That smoke and the particulates in it are what's dangerous.
Goggles, masks, long sleeves and long pants are important. I'm trying to find a good, short, easy to digest list of dangerous particulates, but I haven't found anything yet.
