1. Purchase a car charger for your cell phone.
2. Consider downloading an app like Waze that alerts you to weather and traffic conditions on your route.
3. Pack a kit with a warm blanket, six pack of water, comfortable shoes, flashlight and energy bars.
4. Check your spare tire for leaks and put a set of jumper cables in the trunk.
5. If you’re traveling long distances, check in with loved ones as you leave and the midpoint of your trip.
6. Pack your medications.
7. Have your vehicle serviced regularly.
8. Update your contact list to include your emergency contacts and physicians.
