During Extreme Heat
"Heat is the leading cause of weather-related deaths in most years. Protect yourself during extreme heat and stay Weather-Ready."
Look Before You Lock
"On average, 38 kids die each year by being left in a vehicle. Most are under 3 years old. Many were forgotten by a caregiver"
Pet Heat Safety
"Animals can die of heatstroke within 15 minutes, and cracking the car windows doesn’t help. NEVER leave your pets in parked vehicles."
"Stay Weather-Ready from the dangers of excessive heat. Learn how to protect yourself and your loved ones."
"Heat is the leading cause of weather-related fatalities each year. A heat wave is a period of abnormally hot and sometimes humid weather, generally lasting more than a couple of days. Heat waves have the potential to cover a large area, exposing a high number of people to a hazardous combination of heat and humidity, which can be very taxing on the body."

Auto Safety Infographic
"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."
4 Questions before working outdoors
"Four questions you need to ask yourself before working or playing outdoors: Do you have enough water? Do you have temporary shade available? Do you know the symptoms of heat illness? Do you know who to call in an emergency?"
"When it is hot, wear lightweight, loose-fitting and light-colored clothing to reflect heat and sunlight. Hats are also a good idea to protect your face and scalp from harmful UV rays if you will be spending time directly in the sunshine. Also, don’t forget to apply sunscreen liberally."
