July 1st will be National Heatstroke Prevention Day.
Kidsandcars.org is raising awareness about preventing tragedies especially inside of vehicles.
Mississippi is one of the top 10 states rated in vehicular heat stroke deaths, standing at around 32 per year, surpassing states like Louisiana and Arizona.
To further prevent more deaths, the website is passing out tips on how to keep you and your children and pets safe.
Parents can suffer from exhaustion causing memory to fail unexpectedly. So, be sure to make a habit of opening the back door every time you park to ensure no one is left behind. To enforce this habit place an item that you can’t start your day without in the back seat.
Children could possibly enter your car without you knowing and get locked in. To avoid this, keep vehicles locked at all times especially in the garage or driveway.
Keep your keys out of reach from your children.
In case of emergencies, you should teach your child to honk the car horn if they are stuck inside the car.
