Be sure to wear your seatbelt!

Act Fast. Save a Life.
If you see a child alone in a locked car, get them out immediately and call 911. A child in distress due to heat should be removed from the vehicle as quickly as possible and rapidly cooled.

[Independence Day Weekend Outlook] Turns very warm & humid on Friday. A strong cold front then moves in on Saturday with potential for multiple periods of showers & storms, a few strong to severe. Sunday & Monday looking seasonably warm, less humid and dry.

Over 900 children have died of heatstroke since 1998 because they were left or became trapped in a hot car.
Never leave a child in a vehicle unattended — even if the windows are partially open or the engine is running, and the air conditioning is on.

The #4thofJuly weekend is approaching!🇺🇸🎇
Marijuana and alcohol don't belong behind the wheel, period.
This #July4th, and every day, if you’re high, call a sober friend, rideshare, or taxi to get you home safely. #ImpairedDriving

In just 10 minutes, a car can heat up by 20 degrees. That’s enough to kill a child left alone in a vehicle. #heatstroke #wheresbaby

Seatbelts save lives. According to @NHTSAgov research, the risk of fatal injury to front-seat car occupants is reduced by 45% when seat belts are used.
#BuckleUp every trip, every time. #DriveSafe

As the holiday weekend approaches, now is an excellent time to plan your safe, sober ride.
What are your options to get home safely?
Do you have a designated driver who will be there?
Can you take a rideshare, a taxi, or the MBTA?
Please remember #BuzzedDrivingIsDrunkDriving

Oh, look, rain.
Remember, if your wipers are on, your headlights should also be on.

[530 PM] It's going to be a hot 🌡️one on Sunday! Temps rise into the low to mid 90s away from the immediate south coast. A southerly wind 🍃 will develop under mostly sunny skies 😎. Get outside and enjoy but be sure to drink plenty of fluids🍹! #MAwx #RIwx #CTwx #summer #heat

At 55 mph, a 4-second text takes your eyes off the road for the length of a football field!
Distracted driving can be deadly.
