Join us on Twitter on July 31 for a Heatstroke Tweetup
Did you know that heatstroke is the leading cause of non-crash-related deaths for children under 14? Already 10 children this year have lost their lives to heatstroke after being left in vehicles. In fact, each year, an average of 37 children die from vehicle heatstroke.
While it seems like an impossible mistake to make, every parent or caregiver can potentially become distracted, and distractions often fuel this devastating situation. No one is immune. This tragedy is 100% preventable. We each have a role to play to help keep kids safe. Help us share live-saving tips and resources with as many people as we can. Please reach out to your readers and followers to talk about this important safety topic. Join our Tweetup, and encourage your readers to join, too. Your support can help us prevent tragedies.
We’ll be tweeting all day on Friday, July 31, 2015, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET with the hashtags #heatstrokekills and #checkforbaby. We’ll be sharing information, safety tips, badges, infographics, and other resources to help spread the word about the dangers of vehicle heatstroke.
