Drivers should have an emergency kit in their vehicle before travelling, to be prepared for unforeseen incidents such as vehicle breakdowns, poor weather, and traffic accidents. This brochure provides a list of items that can be included in an emergency kit.

What goes into your emergency kit:
– Water
– Food
– First Aid
– Whistle
– Any items that are unique to you (e.g.: medication)
– Sand, salt or cat litter
– Windshield washer fluid
– Tow rope
– Jumper cables
– Fire extinguisher
– Warning lights or road flares

Keep in mind to build your kit slowly. Write down the contents of each kit and keep it in a safe place to review on a regular basis. Click HERE for an emergency car checklist.
