Columbus, OH – As winter weather grips Ohio, the Ohio Emergency Management Agency (EMA) is urging drivers to prepare for hazardous road conditions. Packing an emergency kit for your car could be a lifesaver during unexpected delays or breakdowns.
According to the Ohio EMA, a well-stocked kit should include blankets, water, non-perishable food, jumper cables, and a first-aid kit. Flashlights, cell phone chargers, and ice scrapers are also essential items. These tools can help drivers stay safe and comfortable if they become stranded.
Officials emphasize that winter driving requires extra caution. Check your vehicle’s tires, battery, and fluids before hitting the road. Allow extra travel time, and avoid driving in severe weather when possible.
Ohio EMA also highlights the importance of monitoring weather forecasts and staying updated on road conditions. Drivers can visit OHGO.com for real-time updates and closures.
