That's not exactly what it says, Damon.
The safe rooms will be prepared at the public schools, in case there's no time to evacuate from a high alert.
Residents are not being told they need a safe room in their house. They're told to go inside when the vog gets heavy, not to exercise, same as with a smog alert in LA.
I have friends in HOVE which had a one morning purple evacuation alert last spring. The kids were told to go to the school in Na'alehu. So now the school will provide some air purification. Good. The whole alert lasted 2-3 hours and then the kids could go home.
