Summary
Emergencies can happen at any time, and you may not be able to get home to grab supplies. Having a small bag of emergency items in your vehicle could be invaluable should disaster strike while you are on the road.
Description
If you spend a lot of time away from home and use a car to get there, then keeping a few supplies in your vehicle is a good idea. An emergency bag tailored for you and your region will help keep you safe if disaster strikes while you are on the road.
Tips
• Unlike a Go Bag at home, this kit lives in your car and is meant to help you if you are stranded somewhere.
• It should likely include some water, non-perishable snacks, a light source, basic first-aid supplies, and suitable clothing. Beyond that, the supplies will depend on where you live and your local climate. Consult appropriate local sources when building your bag.

• Make sure to keep your emergency bag out of sight so as not to invite break-ins.
