Our friends at Safeco would like to remind you some items to keep in your car during these chilly Michigan winters! They recommend you keep these items in an emergency kit in your car:

  • A shovel, tire chains, tow rope and sand or cat litter: All of these can help you get your car unstuck. And jumper cables are always good to have in your car, too.
  • A windshield scraper: Preferably one with a brush attached.
  • Blankets, sleeping bags, gloves and extra clothing: Staying warm is crucial while you wait for help - especially if you don’t know how long you’ll be waiting.
  • Bottled water and snack food, such as energy bars, peanut butter and raisins: It could be hours before you get moving again, so you need to stay hydrated and nourished.
  • A first-aid kit: Keep one in your car no matter the time of year.
  • A battery-powered or hand-crank radio: Listen to weather updates, information on emergency response efforts, etc. while conserving your car’s battery.
  • Emergency flares, reflectors and a battery-powered or hand-crank flashlight: All of these will help you attract attention and help other drivers avoid you.

Your emergency kit doesn’t limited to the above - Feel free to add items that suit your individual needs.
But, most importantly, keep the kit in your car at all times!

They also want you to keep these additional safety tips in mind:


  • Keep your vehicle well maintained (and gassed up).
  • Create a trip plan and share it with friends or family.
  • Stay in your car if you get stuck. Walking to find help is an easy way to get lost and separated from others in your party.
  • To reduce battery drain, only use your emergency flashers if you hear vehicles approaching. You can keep your dome light on to remain visible.
  • Add roadside assistance to your car insurance policy for help in an emergency.
  • Clear the snow off your vehicle completely! https://www.wxyz.com/news/msp-youll-be-at-fault-if-ice-flies-off-your-roof-and-hits-another-vehicle?fbclid=IwAR1Z2H91XCQB0Zhrgq4q4omppM8dV6G6U2397KTZUaMoPWeHkN_HrKhlf3g
