Be Prepared During Winter Travel.

As you look forward to Christmas travel it’s important to always be prepared in case you find yourself in unexpected situations on the road.  The CAA’s Kaitlynn Furse says it’s important to have an emergency kit in your vehicle especially during the winter months.  She explains we never know when we might be in a situation when we’re on the side of the road, in an unexpected breakdown or a collision and having the tools to keep yourself safe for a period of time while you’re waiting for help is the key.  She says we’ve had some pretty extreme weather already in the province this year and there’s been some scenarios where people have been in their cars for much longer than they’d expect and so we really need to make sure that people can take care of themselves while they’re waiting for help should they be snowed in in a situation where they can’t be accessed.

             

Furse adds an emergency kit should include jumper cables, a small shovel, scraper and snow brush, a blanket and warm clothing, water and food that won’t spoil as well as a first aid kit, seatbelt cutter and whistle to attract attention.
