Car Kit

A Car Kit should be kept in your car at all times. You should check the supplies on hand to ensure that you are properly stocked as changes in weather can greatly affect the items used. Place a Car Kit in each car that includes:  Coats, hats, mittens, and blanket or sleeping bag  Water and snack food  Windshield ice scraper and snow brush  Flashlight—Hand crank type  Battery-powered radio and extra batteries  Shovel  First aid kit  Tool kit  Compass and maps  Tow chain or rope  Road salt, sand or cat litter  A large empty can, to be used for bathroom emergencies  Battery booster cables  Cellular phone car charger  Emergency flares and a fluorescent distress flag

Tip: Cell phones that are not activated through a service provider will still have access to 9-1-1. Keep them charged and in your car in case of an emergency.
