Vehicle Bag Checklist

Your vehicle bag keeps supplies you might need during an emergency that occurs while you are on the road. Imagine being caught in a snowstorm, a major pileup on a highway, or a long line of slowly-moving evacuation traffic. Update supplies according to the season. Always keep your tank at least half full (or your electric car battery at least half charged).
