It is very important to keep an emergency car kit in your car, in case of a breakdown, an emergency or a disaster.
The following guidelines will ensure that you have the proper survival kits and supplies in your car to prepare you and your family in case of an emergency:
Emergency Food
It is recommended that you keep at least a 3-day supply of emergency food in your car to prepare in case of a long-term emergency. Regular store bought food does not store safely for more than a few months. Survival food such as food bars that are ready to eat, that can withstand extreme temperatures and have up to a 5 year life span are a good option.
Emergency Water
It is recommended that you keep at least a 3-day supply of emergency drinking water in your emergency car kit. Due to the extreme temperatures that can happen inside your car, bottled water will not store safely for more than a few months. Since water is essential to your survival, each auto emergency kit should have long-term storage box water, such as Datrex, Aqua Bilox or a similar product.
Emergency Shelter Supplies
If the weather is too hot or too cold and you get stranded in your car or need to walk to a different location for safety, you will need emergency shelter supplies. It's a good idea to have thermal blankets for warmth, ponchos for weather protection and a tube tent for shelter.
Additional items to include in your car emergency kit:
- Flashlight
- Booster cables
- Shovel
- Gloves
- Maps
- Tire pressure gauge
- Tire repair kit and pump
- Flares or LED Flasher
- Toilet paper
- Money
- Battery powered radio
- Extra batteries
- Paper and pencil
- Prescription medications
