Look Before You Lock – National Heatstroke Prevention Day

Posted July 19, 2018 & filed under LHTAC News.

Date: July 31, 2018

Organization: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)

The summer sun is heating up America, and it’s only going to get hotter. With the sun comes heat, which can be a killer – especially for a child left alone or trapped inside a vehicle.

Tragically in the United States, every 10 days a child dies as a result of vehicular heatstroke. Since 1998, there have been 761 deaths, 18 of which happened this year.

The worst part? These deaths were 100% preventable.

Education is the first step in prevention, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is leading the charge. Heatstroke Prevention Day is July 31, and NHTSA will be tweeting from 7 AM to 7 PM ET about the dangers of heatstroke and sharing prevention tips.
