National Preparedness Month is not limited to safety at home, it also expands to being prepared while on the go. Whether your daily commute consists of work, home, school or long-distance trips, every driver should be prepared in the event an emergency happens while you’re in your car. So how do you make a vehicle emergency kit? You can start gathering items you might need during an emergency. You should also consider customizing your kit by adding items according to the size of your household. A family with small children may need essentials such as diapers, wipes and children’s medicine and a household with small pets may need extra bowls or food. Either way, personalizing your vehicle emergency kit will help you better prepare for those untimely events. Here’s a list of items to keep in your vehicle: Remember to check items every four to six months to avoid items from expiring.
