Its Summer time!☀️ Which means hotter temperatures. 🌡️ In just 10 minutes, a car can heat up by 20°F — even with the windows cracked. Children are especially vulnerable. Check the back seat. #HeatStrokeKills #HotCarWarning

🚗🌡️ Maryland, we need your help! Hot cars are deadly for children. Remember: Stop. Look. Lock. A child's body heats up 3-5 times faster than an adult's. Even a few minutes can be dangerous. Let's work together to keep our little ones safe this summer! #HotCarsKill #MDOTsafety

🌡☀ When temps soar above 90°F, your body struggles to stay cool — and extreme heat can be deadly. Those w/o AC, outdoor workers, and vulnerable populations are most at risk.

🔥 It's in the 90s across much of NYS today, and in this heat a car can become deadly in minutes - a window cracked does nothing. ✅ Always check the backseat 🚫 Never leave kids or pets behind ⏱️ A “quick errand” can be deadly #LookBeforeYouLock

Dear Friends,  Just after 5 a.m. on July 5th, our beloved friends Liz and Matthew Hammond were driving through Central Texas with their three children—Surya, Khalil, and Malaya. A torrential downpour made it impossible to see that a bridge had been washed out by floodwaters.
