We had an ice storm. At home we are well provisioned for disaster. My car is not. Searching online for everything needed in a car emergency gave me this list. I have begun gathering the items, but it may be spring before my list is complete.
CAR EMERGENCY KIT
- JUMPER CABLES
- FLARES
- TOOL KIT
- FLASHLIGHT
- RADIO
- JACK & TIRE
- TOW ROPE
- GAS CAN
- POCKET KNIFE
- FIX-A-FLAT
- FIRE EXTINGUISHER
- SHOVEL
- ANTI-FREEZE

It was also suggested that most of these be kept in a canvas bag within the car (rear floorboard). If you are in an accident you might not be able to open the trunk.
