Top Tips
for Preventing Hyperthermia (from kidsandcars.org)
- Avoid heat stroke-related injury and death by:
- Never leaving your child alone in the car, even for a
minute.
- Consistently locking unattended vehicle doors and
trunks.
- Create
reminders and habits that
give you and your child’s caregiver a safety net:
- Establish a peace-of-mind plan. When you drop off your
child, make a habit of calling or texting all other caregivers, so all of
you know where your child is at all times.
- Place a purse, briefcase, gym bag, cell phone or an
item that is needed at your next stop in a back seat.
- Set the alarm on your cell phone or computer calendar
as a reminder to drop your child off at childcare.
- Take
action if you see an unattended child
in a vehicle:
- Dial 911 immediately and follow the instructions that
emergency personnel provide – they are trained to determine if a child is
in danger.
