Keep the American Economy Rolling – Idea #7

Have your own vehicle emergency kit.

Have your own vehicle emergency kit. If you own or lease a vehicle, this is something you really need. It can literally be a life saver. It includes a long list of items such as a blanket, bottled water, food, first aid kit, jumper cables and more. Most of us do not have a complete kit. Buying the items to complete your kit will help the economy.

Please buy American made for your kit. If you don’t feel safe yet, you can shop via the Internet or by phone. The Internet will also have numerous sites, such as FEMA, that say what is needed for such a kit.
