I have already written about creating an emergency kit for your home, and creating 72 Hour Bags in case you need to leave your home for a few days in an emergency.
Now it’s time to talk about creating a vehicle emergency kit for your car.
If you live in or travel to any place with snow, or you do a lot of driving anywhere, you need to stock an emergency kit and keep it in your car. Along with the emergency kits you can get most places (flares, jumper cables, etc.) you should also have other items on hand, in case you are stranded somewhere and need to wait awhile for help to arrive.
If you don’t have a kit with emergency road kit already, you can get one here:
- Bandages
- Antiseptic ointment
- Alcohol wipes
- Instant ice packs
- Elastic bandage
- Emetrol
- Hand sanitizer
- Ibuprofin
- Acetaminophen
- Tums
Other items you may need in your vehicle emergency kit:
- Bottles of water
- Food – granola bars, protein bars, beef jerky, etc.
- Blanket or sleeping bag
- Tarp
- Bungee cords or rope
- Playing cards, book(s), coloring book and crayons
Most of these items can be found at the Dollar Store, but if you need emergency blankets you can find them here:
If you already have a vehicle emergency kit for your car, what are some of the essentials that you have?
