Summer storm season can bring hurricanes, tropical storms, monsoons, thunderstorms, flash flooding, and severe winds—and the electrical hazards don't always end when the storm passes. ⚡⛈️

Downed power lines, floodwater, damaged electrical equipment, generators, and fallen trees hiding electrical lines can all create serious risks during storm cleanup and recovery.
One of the most important things to remember: you do not have to touch a downed power line to be injured by electricity. Electrical current can travel through water, the ground, and nearby objects.

After a major storm:
⚡ Always assume a downed power line is energized.
↔️ Stay at least 35 feet away and keep others away from the area.
🚗 Never drive over a downed power line.
🌊 Avoid driving or walking through floodwater or deep standing water, which may conceal electrical hazards and other dangers.
🔌 Never use electrical equipment that is wet or damaged.
🏠 Never operate a generator indoors or in an enclosed space.
📞 Report downed lines to 911 and your local utility company.

Electrical injuries can cause far more than a visible burn.
Depending on the exposure, electricity can result in deep tissue injury, cardiac complications, nerve and muscle damage, and other serious or potentially life-threatening injuries.
As storms move through communities this summer, stay informed, stay aware, and give electrical hazards plenty of distance.

Stay safe this storm season. ⚡💙

Summer is a time for cookouts, fireworks, beach days, and family gatherings—but it's also one of the busiest seasons for preventable burn injuries.

From grills and campfires to hot pavement, fireworks, and hot foods, many of the most common summer burns can be prevented with a little extra awareness.

This season, take a few simple precautions to help protect yourself, your family, and your community.

Most summer burn injuries are preventable. Wishing everyone a fun, safe, and burn-free summer!

In a recent Girls with Grafts episode, Rachel and Amber sat down with Dr. Craig Crandall to dig into the science of heat and why it hits so differently for burn survivors. ☀️

Dr. Crandall is a Professor of Internal Medicine at UT Southwestern Medical Center and has spent over 20 years studying the long-term thermoregulatory and cardiovascular effects of severe burn injuries, with continuous NIH funding throughout.

Together, they explore how Dr. Crandall first came to burn research, what actually happens in the body during heat stress after a burn injury, and why heat tolerance can look so different from survivor to survivor. They also walk through the Burn Survivor Heat Risk Calculator—breaking down what each input means and why it matters, and cover cooling strategies, heart rate changes, and the role hydration plays in keeping your body regulated. 🧊

As summer temperatures climb, so does the risk of serious burn injuries from hot pavement, playground equipment, metal surfaces, and vehicle interiors.
Many people are surprised to learn that asphalt and concrete can become significantly hotter than the surrounding air temperature. On a 95°F day, pavement temperatures may exceed 140°F, creating conditions capable of causing serious burns in seconds, particularly in young children, older adults, and individuals who fall and are unable to immediately move away from the hot surface.
States that routinely experience extreme summer heat—including Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Florida, and California—often report increased concerns related to heat exposure and contact burns from sun-heated surfaces. However, these injuries can occur anywhere during periods of high temperatures and direct sunlight.
At Care Plans for Life, we understand that burn injuries can have lifelong physical, psychological, and financial consequences. While many burns are preventable, recovery often requires ongoing medical care, rehabilitation, scar management, and psychosocial support.
A few simple precautions can help reduce risk:
☀️ Check pavement and playground equipment before use.
👟 Ensure children wear shoes outdoors.
🚗 Be mindful of hot car interiors, seatbelt buckles, and metal surfaces.
💧 Stay hydrated and limit prolonged exposure during peak heat hours.
A moment of caution today can help prevent a lifetime of injury.

At Care Plans for Life, LLC., we recognize that healing from a burn injury extends far beyond physical recovery.

An important article authored by our own Ruth Brubaker Rimmer, PhD, CLCP, “The Science of Connection: How Social Support Helps Burn Survivors Heal,” published through the Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors provides burn survivors with several different ways to find community post-injury. The article highlights the powerful role social connection, peer support, and community play in the life-long healing journey of burn survivors.

As Dr. Rimmer discusses, burn recovery is not only about medical care—it also includes the emotional, psychological, and social aspects of healing that can continue long after discharge from the hospital. Programs such as burn camps, survivor peer groups, and mentorship opportunities often provide invaluable support, helping survivors build confidence, resilience, and a sense of belonging. You are not alone.

At Care Plans for Life, we frequently see the lifelong impact of burn injuries and understand the importance of addressing the whole person in recovery. We are honored to have Dr. Rimmer contributing to these meaningful conversations and advancing awareness surrounding the long-term needs of burn survivors.

Last week, Raj Sood MD, FACS, LCP-C spoke at the II Congreso Regional de Quemaduras de Centroamérica y el Caribe 2026 in El Salvador presenting on Advances in Pediatric burn care - reconstruction and recovery.

His presentation underscored a key reality in burn care: successful outcomes require more than surgical intervention alone. Long-term function, rehabilitation, and quality of life must be part of the conversation from the beginning.

These are the conversations that continue to move the field forward.

Camp 'Can' Do

My name is Stephanie Julazadeh, and I'm the Coordinator for the SC Burned Children's Fund and I'm here today to talk about our flagship program Camp 'Can' Do.

Camp 'Can' Do started in 1997 and its mission is to provide South Carolina burned children with a transformative experiences that build friendships, develop life skills, and foster a can-do attitude. Camp 'Can' Do provides a unique opportunity to connect with peers and mentors in the burn survivor community.

Campers are welcomed at the gate to camp by me with a big smile and a wave of excitement. They are welcomed by camp staff, introduced to other campers, and meet their counselor for the week. Then it's time to break the ice with lots of fun activities together. By the end of the week, everyone is 'in the camp groove' and want to stay longer to experience more fun, expand those new friendships, and keep the magic of camp going. I think young burn survivors' emotional and psychological challenges are very similar to any other new camper.

Typically, the biggest unknown in a new environment is how they will fit in with others. Sharing a life-altering event like getting burned starts them on a similar journey. Unknowingly, the kids learn a lot from each other. From how to react to a stranger's stare to talking about how the scars still hurt. They help one another accomplish new things. Many are experiencing classic camp activities like fishing, kayaking, and archery for the first time. There is nothing like seeing a camper hesitant to try something new, overcome that anxiety, and enjoy the moment and embrace the fun! They build a lot of burn survivor identify when they are together, that I believe ultimately builds individual resilience. Its a great process to be a part of.

This year, Camp 'Can' Do is July 12 - 17, 2026. Camp is completely FREE (we can even provide transportation to/from camp).

Last day for camper registration is June 15, 2026. SC burn survivors ages 6 to 17 can find info about Camp 'Can' Do and register here:
