Today, May 1st, is National Heat Stroke Prevention Day. The main focus of this observance day is the prevention of pediatric heatstroke deaths caused by hot cars. Meteorologist Jan Null started tracking pediatric deaths related to vehicular heatstroke in 1998 and since then there have been 1,041 children that have died between the ages of 5 days old to 14 years old. Over half of these deaths were children under the age of 2. All of these deaths were preventable.

You can help prevent a tragedy by following three simple steps every time you finish a drive.

🛑 STOP. Stop whatever you are doing after you turn the car off. Finishing that text. The last sip of coffee or pre workout. Answering a phone call. Touching up your makeup.

👀 LOOK. Get out of your car and look in your back seat and trunk to ensure there are no children in your vehicle. Children can climb into cars to hide and can be hard to see by just turning around from the driver's seat. Rear facing car seats with infants or smaller children can be hard to see without leaving the car and checking from the back seat.

🔒 LOCK. Lock your car doors. Whether you are at work, home, or the gym. Your child, or another child, may not realize that they can become trapped in a vehicle and you may not find out until it is too late.

These three steps only take seconds but they can save a life and prevent a tragedy. Never say never. It can happen to anyone.
