Hi all, I have a Hermanns tortoise kept in a custom outdoor enclosure. Where I live is being effected by smoke from wildfires in the PNW. It would be a bit difficult to move her inside but I can do it if necessary. What should I do? Any help is appreciated. Currently the air quality index in my area has reached 192-280 and I'm very worried.

[EDIT]
For some additional info, the enclosure is in an outdoor area that gets limited exposure to the elements, but still has airflow.

If it's smoky outside, being your tortoise inside. Do you have a clean bin in a safe indoor location you can put him in for a while?

Home Depot - large tote (50 gallon plus), 2 bags cypress mulch, clay pot base for water. You provide the extra heat and that could double as an evacuation container
