Below is a list of things you will need to prepare an emergency car kit for road emergencies. Always keep the winter safety and emergency equipment in your car regardless of the season. (If you take them out you might forget to put them back in when winter comes again.)
KEEP THE FOLLOWING NEAR YOUR DRIVER'S SEAT
Food that won't spoil, such as energy bars.
Water—plastic bottles that won't break if the water freezes (replace them every six months).
Thick Warm Blanket.
Extra clothing and shoes or boots.
First aid kit.
Seatbelt cutter or other sharp tool. (Store the seatbelt cutter near your driver's seat, so you can grab it and use it quickly if the car is flooding with water.)
Small shovel, scraper and snowbrush.
Large candle in a deep can and matches. The candle will keep you warm in the event you become trapped in your car and need to wait for a rescue.
Wind‑up flashlight.
Whistle or horn in case you need to attract attention.
Roadmaps.
Backpack in case you need to get out of there on foot.
TRUNK ITEMS
Gasoline can for if you need to trek to the nearest gas station.
Car jack.
Spare tire.
Basic tools + a Tire Iron.
Sand, salt or cat litter (non-clumping), for adding grip under your tires.
Antifreeze and windshield washer fluid.
Tow rope.
Jumper cables.
Fire extinguisher.
Warning light or road flares.
Print out the Emergency Car Kit list. Cross items off the list as you put them in your car. Drive safe!
