<br /> <br />Each year, <br />hundreds of <br />people find themselves stranded on the <br />roadside. Winter weather can kill an <br />unprepared person who is exposed to the <br />elements within minutes. Whether you wind up <br />needing it or not, a winter survival kit for your <br />car is a good idea. It is simple to create and <br />could save your life in the event of a vehicle <br />breakdown or crash during the winter months. <br /> <br />Putting the kit together is easy and here's how! <br />Take an empty container like a three pound <br />coffee can with a plastic cover. Inside the <br />container pack the following items: <br /> <br />Candle stubs and matches <br />Small, sharp knife <br />Red bandanna or cloth (to hang outside your <br />vehicle as a sign of distress) <br />Pencil and paper and change for a phone call <br />(or a cell phone) <br />Large plastic garbage bag for insulation <br />Snacks (high energy food like a chocolate bar or <br />energy bar) <br />Plastic whistle (to alert people to where you are) <br />Plastic flashlight and spare batteries (reverse <br />batteries in the case to avoid accidental <br />switching and burnout, and warm <br />batteries between your legs before using) <br />First aid kit including essential medications <br />Bottled water (melted snow can also be used as <br />a water source) <br /> <br />In addition to the items in the winter survival kit, <br />you may want to make sure you have these <br />other items on hand in your trunk: <br />* Jumper cables <br />* Sand for tire traction <br />* Shovel <br /> <br />* Tow cable or chain <br />* Blankets <br /> <br />* Road flares/reflectors <br />* Hat, mittens/gloves, boots <br />* Snow brush . <br /> <br />What's Being <br />Built in the City? <br /> <br />200212003 <br />Development Projects <br /> <br /> <br />Industrial <br />Development - Hastings Industrial Park <br /> <br />.
