Let’s be prepared! Plan your long trips carefully and get up-to-date weather forecasts and road conditions. Every vehicle should have an emergency supply kit located in the trunk.  Here are a few suggestions.

• A properly inflated spare tire, wheel wrench and tripod jack
• Jumper cables
• Tool kit
• Flashlight
• Reflective triangles
• First aid kit
• Nonperishable, high-energy foods, such as unsalted nuts, dried fruits, and hard candy
• Drinking water
• Car charger for your cell phone
