A child’s body heats up 3-5 times faster than an adult’s. That means a parked car can become deadly in minutes – even on mild days. Every second counts when a child is left in a car. If you see a child alone in a vehicle, act immediately. Use free resources from the National Safety Council to educate everyone you know about safety risks: https://bit.ly/42vjbaF

Do not plug air conditioner into and extension cord, plug it directly into outlet, stay safe, stay cool.

Hello, AC season. Before you cool down, make sure your air conditioner is set up safely. Plug window air conditioners directly into a wall outlet.

Many manufacturers do not allow extension cords. If they are allowed, use the proper type and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Do you know the best swimsuit color for your child's safety? Many parents select swimsuits based on style, cuteness, or comfort. However, those factors become irrelevant once a child goes underwater! In order to spot your child quickly if there's an emergency, it's important to pick the right swimsuit colors for safety is more significant than most people realize.

🌊Water absorbs light unevenly, making only a few select colors stand out from under the surface.

☀️Neon yellow & neon green stand out, while blues, oranges, and pinks disappear completely underwater due to glare & color distortion in pools.

🤽Chlorine, ripples, and bright sunlight scatter light, making white and light pastels look like surface reflections.
