Schneider Roofing and Remodeling isn’t just concerned with your safety in the home – we want you to be safe all the time! With all the cold temperatures and plenty of precipitation during these winter months, driving the roads can be treacherous! Be prepared if you get stranded for any period of time by having a winter driving kit. Here are some suggested items that your kit should contain:
- Bag of sand or salt (or kitty litter)
- Traction mats
- Snow shovel
- Snow brush
- Ice scraper
- Jumper cables
- Flashlight and portable flashing light (and extra batteries)
- Warning devices such as flares or emergency lights
- Fuel-line deicer
- Extra windshield washer fluid
- Roll of paper towels
- Blanket
- Extra warm clothing and blanket
- First-aid kit
- Snack bars or other “emergency” food and water
- Matches and emergency candles (only use candles with a window opened to prevent build-up of carbon monoxide)
- Road maps
