Build an Emergency Road Kit

The sun is shining, the sky is blue and you’re on your way to a fun summer adventure or a cool place to relax, but with road trips in hot weather can come overheated engines, flat tires and dead batteries. Don’t get stranded on the side of the road without the supplies you need to get back up and running or call for help. Always get your car checked out before a trip, keep a fully-charged cell phone on hand and pack the following items into a clear plastic bin in your trunk so they’re easy to spot and remove when needed.
