Sometimes you have to travel in snowstorms! Be ready!

Although usually snowstorms mean hunkering down and getting snowed in, sledding and enjoying time with family – sometimes in emergencies, it is necessary to travel. If you have to move during a storm, or are afraid you might get caught in one during your travels, here are items to include in your own emergency kit:

• Portable cell phone charger.
• Extra hats, coats, mittens, and blankets.
• A windshield scraper.
• A snow shovel.
• A battery powered radio with extra batteries.
• Flashlights, and extra batteries.
• Water bottles and packaged snacks.
• First aid kit and all necessary medications
• A pocket knife.
• Tow chains, rope, and/or tire chains.
• Cat litter or sand to help with traction, or road salt to melt ice.
• Charged battery and jumper cables.
• Emergency flares.
• Paper road maps.

These items will help you get to safety!
