Everyone is welcome to use the text and images provided below to help the NWS build a #WeatherReady Nation. #WeatherReady Wednesday is a National Weather Service initiative to help spread weather safety messages each week.

Practice Heat Safety this #WeatherReady Wednesday! Heat is one of the leading causes of weather-related fatalities each year. Heat waves have the potential to cover a large area.

It’s #WeatherReady Wednesday! Never leave children, disabled or elderly adults or pets in parked vehicles. Studies have shown that the temperature inside a parked vehicle can rapidly rise to a dangerous level for children, pets and even adults. Leaving the windows slightly open does not significantly decrease the heating rate. The effects can be more severe on children because their bodies have not developed the ability to efficiently regulate their internal temperature. weather.gov/safety/heat-children-pets #HeatSafety #LookBeforeYouLock
