During the winter months, the driving conditions are often more dangerous. This can increase your risk of being involved in an auto accident, or being stranded in your vehicle. It is wise to have each of your vehicles stocked with an emergency kit full of supplies such as a first-aid kit, food and water, flares, flashlights, jumper cables, hats, gloves, blankets, road salt, and more. Having a kit like this can help to keep you safe until help arrives. We hope that you will not have to use the your roadside emergency kit, but it is vital to have one just in case you need it!
