Annual Roadside Emergency Kit Checklist

Be prepared for anything that comes your way on the road – such as a flat tire, getting stuck in a rainstorm or being stranded in the desert.

Your roadside car emergency kit is essential to provide everything you will need in the event that something unexpected happens while on the road. 

Your assembled roadside emergency kit should be securely kept together in your trunk so everything doesn't roll around. Even a simple cardboard box works well. A backpack is another option. But make sure the kit is quickly accessible because you might need it in a hurry.

Once assembled a regular audit helps ensure no items have perished and everything is setup to serve its purpose in the case of an emergency.

How often should this be used?
Annually.
