Gearing Up for Disaster: What You Need to Know -- AAA Severe Weather Kit For the Car

What It Is: An in-all-one, keep-it-in-the-car survival kit.
What It Includes: A 46-piece first-aid kit, folding shovel, ice scraper, hand warmers, safety strobe light, emergency whistle, survival blanket, candles, and a fleece cap, gloves and hat, plus an emergency car care guide. Make sure to add enough blankets and gear for all family members.
Why You Need It: With this kit, you can dig out, administer first aid, stay warm and signal for help. Having one in the trunk will give you peace of mind. Make sure to also include diapers, formula, snacks, wipes and anything else you could need for your baby over several hours.
