BROWN COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) — Wisconsin winters can lead to unpredictable travels on the roads; weather you end up in a crash or in a ditch.
It’s a good idea to keep an emergency kit in your vehicle. Lauri Maki, Brown County Emergency Management Director, says helpful items include extra clothes like hats, mittens, jackets, and boots, blankets, a flashlight, water bottles, snacks, and more…
“Have a bag of kitty litter or sand to help melt ice and get some traction for a stuck vehicle.” said Maki.
Besides these items, make sure you have plenty of fuel so you can stay inside your car and keep it running if you’re going to be stuck for a while.
Should you find yourself in an emergency, call 911.
