Minnesotans Should Keep a Winter Survival Kit in Your Vehicle

(Learfield News/St. Paul, MN) — Minnesotans can stay safer on the roads by keeping a winter survival kit in their vehicle.

Homeland Security and Emergency Management Deputy Director Kevin Reed says the kit should include supplies you’d need if you become stranded in cold temperatures for an extended period of time.

He recommends something to keep you warm, a bottle of water, and a bright colored bandana or something to put on your window to have people notice you.

Oher items to put in your kit include candles, a cell phone charger, and a whistle.
