Roadside emergency kits are an important thing to have if you’re a vehicle owner. Having one in each of the vehicles that your household owns will ensure that you’re ready for anything. If the weather leaves you stranded or your vehicle overheats unexpectedly, the following items should be available at a moment’s notice.

Basic Tool Kit

If you’re handy, having a few basic tools may provide you with the opportunity to make a quick fix and be on your way.

Water and Food

Keep some bottles of water in your vehicle, and a few non-perishable food items.

Flashlight

If you’re stranded in the dark, a flashlight will help you whether you’re repairing your vehicle or trying to contact help.

Road Flares

Road flares can help you stay visible to other vehicles on the road, and they can alert a tow truck or roadside assistance if you’re somewhere that’s hard to spot from the road.
