Safety - How to be Safety Savvy

Your car’s emergency kit

You never know what might happen on the road, so it’s best to be prepared. Keep these items in a box in your trunk:

• battery powered radio and extra batteries
• flashlight and extra batteries
• AAA or roadside emergency card
• blanket
• booster cables (also called jumper cables)
• fire extinguisher (5 lb., A-B-C type)
• first aid kit
• bottled water
• non-perishable high energy foods, such as: granola bars, energy bars, trail mix, dried fruit, raisins, crackers
• maps
• shovel (in case you need to dig your car out of the snow)
• tire repair kit and pump
• flares
