WINTER SAFETY TIPS

When you travel, know where you are going and how to get there and back. Check for construction detours; for longer trips, get a weather forecast. If traveling out-of-state, most state law enforcement agencies provide road-and-highway information; check to see what conditions they report before leaving. Inform a family member where you will be and when to expect you back; give them your route if they don't know it. Travel and conduct your business during daylight hours if possible. Lock doors and windows when getting into your car and keep them locked while driving. When driving, keep doors locked and windows rolled up. Maintain at least half a tank of fuel, and keep vehicle in good repair. If you have access to a cellular telephone, carry or take it. If possible, know the emergency cell codes for the area you're in. For example, in Oklahoma, remember that *55 = OHP Oklahoma Highway Patrol

Now-a-days, when we have car trouble, we just call AAA, or on star, etc., however, for those of you who don’t have those modern conveniences, or those who will need to stay safe and warm

until roadsides assistance is available, try keeping a box or duffle bag in your car with the following:

Thermal blanket ♦Gallon of water ♦" HELP" sign, flag, flares, or reflectors ♦flashlight

(check batteries annually) ♦ duct tape ♦jumper cables ♦ tire gauge ♦work gloves hand tools (pliers, screwdrivers, allen wrenches, etc.)

REMEMBER TO CHECK YOUR SMOKE DETECTOR & CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR BATTERIES
