subject: Interstate Ford Recommends Emergency Kits in Dayton, OH [print this page] Dayton's Interstate Ford knows that any time you travel by car, something can go wrong. There can be a break down, accident, or weather-related difficulty. It is best to be prepared by packing your Ford with an emergency kit so if you are stranded on the side of the road, you can survive until help arrives.
Emergency kits are relatively easy to prepare on your own without having to pay for expensive prepackaged kits. Here are some items you should include:
Emergency Kit Survival Materials
Get a sturdy container and stock up your Ford with:
Flashlight/batteries
Tool kit with screwdrivers, pliers, wrench
Road flares
Bright cloth or sign to signal you need help
Scissors
Fuses
Jumper cables
Car fluids like anti-freeze, motor oil, transmission fluid, water, windshield fluid
Blankets
Toilet paper
Extra clothing
Non-perishable food items/bottled water
Remember also that if you drive your Ford in Dayton during the winter, you should also keep a snow shovel and a bag of kitty litter in your trunk in case you get stuck on snow-covered roads.
While your new or used Ford is built to last you a long time, sometimes accidents and incidents happen when you least expect it. An emergency preparedness kit can help you stay calm and have what you need if you have to wait for help. To ensure you are always prepared, check your kit every few months to update supplies and outdated food items. Keep your insurance and registration information up to date and a list of emergency contact information you might need, including roadside assistance.
