Take Action To Prevent Heatstroke In Cars


Today we are joining our partners in safety, SafeKids, as they kick off their  Heatstroke Awareness
Campaign.

Did you know that even on a mild 70-degree day, the temperature inside of a car can rise 19 degrees in just 10 minutes?

As well, did you know that Heatstroke is the leading cause of non-crash, vehicle-related deaths for children? On average, every ten days a child dies from heatstroke in a vehicle.

Never Leave Your Child Alone In A Car

From our partners in safety SafeKids:

At this time last year, 26 children had died from heatstroke after being left in a hot car. This year, 18 children have died. While we are making progress in spreading awareness about the dangers of heatstroke, even one death is too many.

Help Protect Kids From Heatstroke

We had a close call today with a child left alone in a hot vehicle.  If you are not aware of it you can go here:

6-month-old left in car at Metro parking lot

Our partners in safety, SafeKids, has an important related message to share in light of today's event.



Reduce the number of deaths from heatstroke by remembering to ACT.

A: Avoid heatstroke-related injury and death by never leaving your child alone in a car, not even for a minute. And make sure to keep your car locked when you’re not in it so kids don’t get in on their own.

C: Create reminders by putting something in the back of your car next to your child such as a briefcase, a purse or a cell phone that is needed at your final destination. This is especially important if you’re not following your normal routine.

T: Take action. If you see a child alone in a car, call 911. Emergency personnel want you to call. They are trained to respond to these situations. One call could save a life.
