July 31 Is National Heatstroke Prevention Day
With record-setting heat blanketing significant portions of the country for much of this summer, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Safe Kids Worldwide are highlighting the dangers of child heatstroke in hot cars and urging parents and caregivers to think, “Where’s baby? Look before you lock,” the primary message in NHTSA’s heatstroke public education campaign.
Data from the San Francisco State University Department of Geosciences show at least 24 children have died due to heatstroke already in 2013 – medically termed “hyperthermia.”
