You can never be too prepared when it comes to winter driving. Be sure to include these items in your car emergency kit!
In case you are stranded, keep an emergency supply kit in your car. Here are some of the essentials recommended by the National Safety Council and Ready.gov:
Jumper cables
Spare tire, wheel wrench and jack
Multipurpose tool
Flares or reflective triangle
Ice scraper
Car cellphone charger
Blankets
Map
Cat litter or sand for better tire traction
First aid kit
Fire extinguisher
Duct tape
Ready.gov also suggests keeping emergency numbers in your phone so that you can contact family, your auto insurance company and roadside assistance/towing company.
Hopefully you will not need this kit, but if you do, we want you to be prepared.
