EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT REMINDS ABOUT
THE DANGER OF LEAVING CHILDREN IN CARS
As temperatures rise this summer, the Emergency
Management Office reminds people about the dangers of
heatstroke and leaving children alone in vehicles.
On average, 37 children die of heatstroke after being left in
a car in the U.S. each year, according to the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration. In many cases a
parent or caregiver forgot the child or the child was playing
in an unattended vehicle.
It's never safe to leave a child in a car alone, even for a
minute. Just remember to ACT.

A - Avoid heatstroke-related injury by never leaving a
child alone in a car. Keep vehicles locked so children don't
get in on their own.
C - Create reminders to check your back seat by putting
something that you will need next to your child such as a
purse, cell phone, or briefcase. This is especially important
if you're not following your normal routine.
T - Take action! Call 911 if you see a child alone in a car.
Emergency personnel are trained to respond to these
situations. One call could save a life.

WATER WATCHER TAGS AIM TO STOP CHILD
DROWNINGS THIS SUMMER
Summertime means pool time, which makes now the best
time to pick up a Water Watcher tag.
Water Watcher tags are available at the Colleyville Public
Library, 110 Main Street, and at Fire Station No. 1, 5209
Colleyville Blvd. The tags are free. And if they serve their
purpose to prevent a child from drowning, they could be
priceless.
Water Watcher tags designate one adult to supervise the
pool constantly without allowing distractions, like
cellphones, texts, or even conversations. The adult serves
as the Water Watcher until they relinquish the tag and are
replaced by another adult. To ensure the Water Watcher

Forward To A Friend
remains alert, the tag and Water Watcher responsibility
should be rotated between adults every 10-15 minutes.
