What’s in your emergency roadside kit?


Whether it’s a summer rainstorm or icy roads in the winter, hazardous conditions often lead to road closures and long delays in help arriving at the scene of an accident. And although you might have emergency essentials in your personal vehicle, it’s important that your business vehicles are equipped with an emergency roadside safety kit as well.

Roadside Emergency Kit

At the very least, your emergency roadside kit should include:

  • A shovel
  • Tow rope or chain
  • Booster cables
  • Fuel line antifreeze
  • A small tool kit
  • A fire extinguisher

To alert rescuers, kits should contain:

  • Road flares or warning lights
  • Bright cloth to use as a flag
  • ‘Call Police’ sign
  • Flashlight and extra batteries

While some of these items may not help prevent incidents from happening in the first place, they can still stop delays from becoming disasters, or small accidents from becoming emergencies.

  We also offer personal insurance coverage for your home and vehicles.
