Car and Roadside Kit Suggestions
| :Emergency Roadside Car Evacuation Items |
Everything in your car
must be tied down. All
tools must be secured--
bungee-tied, or with a
strong rope under the
seats. Smaller and less
heavy supplies should be
loaded in a backback in
case you have to start
walking. The back-
pack or backpacks need to
be secured, also.
The recommended way to
secure items is to use a
net and tie-downs on the
backs of the seats, in the
trunk, or in the back where
groceries are placed.
A good reminder here; is
that all loose objects in a
car need to be secured
because in case of an
accident, a person could
be really injured by their
own loose items. An
artichoke could hurt and
my purse could be a
weapon... I need to lose
the heavy stuff.
Take a class in personal
defense and always
drive defensively.
Remember: Your
decisions determine your
destiny.
Don't forget your house
keys and leave one hidden
that family or close
friends know, but the
looters don't! Leave a
message somewhere again,
so your family knows
where you are going.
Remember this is part of
your 72 hour kit, if your
car is yours, you don't
need to have double the
supplies, unless you would
like to give to another.
Lastly...don't forget
your children and pets!
