Emergency kit for vehicles
You should always have an emergency kit in your vehicle to deal with unforeseen incidents. Picture this: it’s cold, it’s late, and you’re in an accident or your car breaks down. An emergency kit would be very useful then.
What an emergency kit should include
- A first aid kit
- Booster cables
- Non-perishable food (like energy bars)
- Water (change it every six months)
- Hand-crank or battery-powered flashlight (with spare batteries)
- A portable power supply to charge a phone
- Warning light
Adapting your kit for winter
Your winterized emergency kit will help you better get by, especially with our Quebec winters and their unpredictable weather conditions.
Some additions to consider
- A small shovel, scraper, snow brush
- Antifreeze and windshield washer fluid
- Salt, sand or (non-clumping) cat litter
- Traction aids
- A blanket and warm clothes
