WHERE’S BABY?
A car can heat up 19 degrees in just 10 minutes. To prevent tragedy, we must ACT.
A – Avoid heatstroke-related injury by never leaving a child alone in a car, not even for a minute, and lock the car when you get out.
C – Create reminders. Place your phone or purse in the backseat when traveling with your child.
T – Take action. If you see a child alone in a car, call 911. Emergency personnel are trained to respond.

The Safe Kids Greater Sacramento Coalition seeks to prevent death and unintentional injury to children ages 18 and under through community collaboration and education.
Safe Kids Sacramento was founded in 1998 by UC Davis Medical Center and approximately twenty local agencies with the goal of working together to keep children safe. The coalition was led by Dignity Health Mercy San Juan Medical Center from 2003-2022. In late 2022, UC Davis Health resumed the lead agency role and continues to work with many of those same original member agencies, along with many other individuals and new partners.
