With increasing high temperatures and humidity this week, never, never, never leave children, disabled or elderly adults, or pets in parked, unattended vehicles! Studies have shown that the temperature inside a parked vehicle can rapidly rise to dangerous levels for people and pets. Leaving the windows slightly open does not significantly decrease the heating rate. The effects can be more severe on children because their bodies have not developed the ability to efficiently regulate internal temperature. Make sure to Look Before You Lock.

😀 It's Preparedness Tip Thursday!

Here are two simple tips that can help you out in any type of emergency situation:

📌 Store emergency contacts in your phone and mark them as such.

📌 Take photographs of your important documents and of the inside of your home.

These are things we never think about until we are faced with a crisis, but they are simple things we can do to build personal preparedness at home!
