We’re On Your Side with the supplies you need to include in your roadside emergency supply kit.

The National Weather Service (NWS) says you need to keep your cellphone fully charged because it can become your lifeline in case of a disaster. Make sure to keep a blanket, flashlight, jumper cables, water and snacks, and mittens and warm clothes as well.

“Stay off the roads during hazardous winter weather whenever possible. If you absolutely have to venture out, be sure to have emergency supplies in your vehicle, and that your mobile phone is fully charged – it could become your lifeline if disaster should strike,” according to the NWS.
