During the unpredictable winter months, it’s a good idea to pack your car with some emergency essentials – in case you’re stranded.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recommends including:
- An ice scraper, small broom and snow shovel
- Something to give you traction if you get stuck, such as kitty litter
- A flashlight
- A set of jumper cables
- A box of flares
- A few blankets to keep you warm
- Water
- Non-perishable snacks
- A supply of medicine
- A cell phone and charger
