matches/candles, booster cables, compass, maps, sand, chains,
blankets

You can be more at risk trying to walk throughthe storm for
help.
Make your vehicle as visible as possible for easier rescue.
You can periodically run the motor for short periods each hour,
but
remember to allow fresh air and ventilation to avoid carbon
monoxide
poisoning.
When hiking, hunting, skiing, or if your job takes you into
mountainousareas, know the weather forecast!
