Winter Preparedness

January 14, 2021 by Melissa Leave a Comment

If you haven’t checked over your vehicle for the cold weather, here’s your reminder. Getting stranded is never fun, and there can be life-changing consequences. Be prepared!

Vehicle Emergency Kit

  • Blanket
  • Cell phone and charger
  • Food (e.g., shelf-stable items like granola bars and packaged nuts)
  • Medicine and first aid kit
  • Shovel and salt, kitty litter or sand (something to give you grip if you get stuck)
  • Ice scraper and brush
  • Jumper cables
  • Flashlight and flares
  • Extra warm clothes
  • Toilet paper and plastic bags or containers (for sanitation)

Vehicle Preparedness

  • Always have at least one-half tank of fuel in your vehicle during the winter
  • Service the radiator and maintain antifreeze level
  • Never use cruise control while driving on slippery surfaces, such as ice or snow
  • Never warm up your car in an enclosed area such as a garage
  • Keep your windshield wiper fluid filled
  • Check your tire pressure and tread
  • Make sure your vehicle is serviced before you travel and check for recalls
