Winter is here in full force.  Road conditions get particularly dangerous this time of year.  Accidents and harsh weather conditions can cause drivers to become stranded.  It's a good idea to be sure your car is stocked with supplies that come in handy in emergency situations. Here's a checklist from The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that you may find useful.

    "Car and Emergency Checklist

    Prepare your car with emergency supplies.

  • Cell phone; portable charger and extra batteries
  • Shovel
  • Windshield scraper
  • Battery-powered radio (and extra batteries)
  • Flashlight (and extra batteries)
  • Water
  • Snack food
  • Extra hats, coats, mittens
  • Blankets
  • Chains or rope
  • Tire chains
  • Canned compressed air with sealant (emergency tire repair)
  • Road salt and sand
  • Booster cables
  • Emergency flares
  • Bright colored flag; help signs
  • First aid kit
  • Tool kit
  • Road maps
  • Compass
  • Waterproof matches and a can (to melt snow for water)
  • Paper towels"

Please be careful when you drive, and try to avoid being on the road during extreme weather.  If caught in an emergency, be prepared.

Safe travels.
