Here in Ohio, we have to prepare for just about anything — especially when it comes to the weather. While you might think an emergency kit is only ideal for winter, think again. Here are some essential items to keep in your summer emergency kit.
Jumper cables
Car batteries don’t just stop working in the cold of winter. Extremely hot temperatures, like in summer, can cause harm to your vehicle’s battery as well. Be sure to pack jumper cables in the event that your car doesn’t start on your summer road trips.
Pencil and paper
If you do end up in an accident, you’ll need to collect insurance information from any other drivers that are involved. While your cell phone might be a good way to get these details, you shouldn’t rely on it in case you lose it during the accident or if it loses power. Store a pencil and some paper in the glove box or center console for easy access.
Flashlight
You never know where your summer adventures will take you, and that might mean being out past sunset. In an emergency, having a bright flashlight will definitely come in handy.
