A few days ago a storm came through our area which caused the major freeway between LA and Vegas to be closed down overnight. Needless to say, a lot of people found themselves spending the night in their vehicles until the freeway reopened the next day. I am also guessing that many of these people were unprepared for such an experience.
Everyone should have basic supplies and equipment in their car in case of emergency. This includes:
- Bottled water
- Simple, easy to eat, no cooking required food
- A charged battery bank to power your cell phone
- Blankets or sleeping bags
- A way to stay warm (usb handwarmers and an additional battery bank, for example)
- Flashlights and spare batteries
- A way to go to the bathroom (a coffee can with cat litter, TP, and hand sanitizer, for example)
- Entertainment (a book and reading light, cards, etc)
- Other emergency supplies
