Texas Heatstroke Task Force

Kids love to explore, pretend, and play hide-and-seek — and a few simple steps can help keep them safe.
Lock car doors, keep car keys out of reach, and teach children that vehicles aren’t places to play without a grown-up.
Tragically, children have climbed into vehicles without caregivers knowing and been unable to get out, leading to heatstroke.
If a child is ever missing, always check vehicles and trunks.
