Create A Emergency Vehicle Kit
I have to admit, emergency supplies in my car has never been at the top of my to-do list. However, with winter coming, I figured it was time to be prepared.
Speaking to several automotive experts helped me put together an emergency kit checklist that seems to cover all the bases without going overboard!
Day to Day Auto Emergency Kit
Cell Phone
Pen and Paper
Insurance & Registration Cards
Accident Checklist - Print off this checklist to put in your glove compartment
Card with relevant medical information for you and your family; allergies or conditions that may require special attention if there are serious injuries Print off this checklist to put in your glove compartment
Set of cones, warning triangles or emergency flares
Jumper Cables
Ice Scraper
First Aid Kit
Road Trip Emergency Kit
In addition to the ‘Day to Day’ emergency kit, add the following items to create your road trip kit.
Blanket, wool is preferred
Water
Food – Canned w/can opener, granola/energy bars, raisins, etc.
Maps
2 quarts of oil
Flashlight & extra batteries
Roll of paper towels
Fire extinguisher
Waterproof matches
Whistle
Tire Inflator & Repair Kit
Duct tape
Your required medication, at least a one week supply
Cash - in a baggie - 10 ones, 2 fives and 4 dollars in quarters (pay phone)

Whether it be close by or far away, have a fun, safe trip!
