Yesterday, on April 29, 2026, we hosted our annual Hot Car Safety Awareness Event at the STRAC office—bringing together local health systems, EMS agencies, and community partners with one shared mission: saving lives through awareness and prevention.

Every year, tragedies occur when children, elderly individuals, and pets are left unattended in vehicles—even for just a few minutes. Temperatures inside a car can rise rapidly, creating life-threatening conditions faster than many people realize.

Through this event, our partners helped educate the community on:

The dangers of heat exposure inside vehicles
Simple prevention strategies to avoid accidental incidents
How to take action if you see someone in distress in a parked car

This collaboration reflects the power of our region working together to protect our most vulnerable populations.

Let’s continue to spread the message: Look Before You Lock. Every time.
