🚗 IS YOUR CAR PREPARED?

September is National Preparedness Month, and being prepared isn't just about what you have at home. What you keep in your vehicle matters too!
You never know when you might end up with a flat tire, dead battery, unexpected breakdown, or Iowa weather that decides to change plans for you. 😉

Here are a few things worth keeping in your vehicle emergency kit:
🔋 Jumper cables or a portable jump starter
🔦 Flashlight + extra batteries
🩹 First aid kit
💧 Bottled water
📱 Portable phone charger
🛞 Tire pressure gauge
🧤 Work gloves
🧣 Blanket or extra warm layers
⚠️ Reflective triangles or roadside safety gear
🧻 A few basic personal-care supplies

Take a few minutes this month to check your vehicle emergency kit, replace anything that's expired or missing, and make sure everyone in your family knows where it's kept.

Being prepared might not prevent the unexpected, but it can make a BIG difference when the unexpected happens. ❤️🚗
