A very dangerous arctic blast is threatening much of the eastern parts of the United States. It is accompanied by record lows and bitterly cold wind chills. The reports of hazardous weather impacting our friends have prompted us to prepare a helpful list for those who may be forced to travel in these storms.

What are the best steps to take to prepare to travel during severe winter storms?

1. Avoid travel if at all possible
2. Prepare your vehicle before leaving
3. Keep your gas tank at least half way full
4. Plan ahead and stay up-to-date on weather conditions
5. Take a well-stocked personalized emergency vehicle kit

In this video, we review in detail each of these important steps to preparing to venture out during a severe winter storm.
