☀️ And that’s a wrap on our Heatstroke Prevention Month campaign!

Thank you for following along and engaging with us throughout May as we shared information about vehicular heatstroke awareness and prevention.

While the campaign may be ending, the risk doesn’t disappear when the calendar changes.

As temperatures continue to rise, remember to ACT, stay vigilant, and share this important information with family, friends, and caregivers. Together, we can help keep kids safe all season long. 🚗☀️

Seasonal Safety Saturday: Summer Road Safety🌞

Summer fun is here!

We all know how busy this time of year can get, with driving to activities, vacations, celebrations, and everything in between.

Whether your drive is long or short, it's important to keep safety top of mind while on the road. Take a moment to review these summer driving safety tips before your next trip, and consider sharing them with any younger drivers in your home, too❕❕

Safe travels! 🛣️

☀️ During one of our hotter days earlier this week, we had our heatstroke temperature monitor out to demonstrate just how quickly the inside of a vehicle can heat up.

The results were eye-opening: while it was 96.5°F outside, the temperature inside the vehicle reached 125°F.

🚗 Remember: a cracked window is not enough to keep a vehicle safe, and being gone for just a few minutes can still be dangerous; never leave a child alone in a vehicle.

Remember, vehicular heatstroke can happen to anyone. ❤️‍🩹

Vehicle technology can be very helpful, but it should not be the only reminder you rely on.

Create multiple layers of protection by placing an important item in the backseat and making a plan with your daycare, caregiver, or destination to call if your child does not arrive as expected.

Small habits and backup plans can help save lives.
