Don’t forget to check the air in the spare tire and ensure the jack and lug wrench are where they are supposed to be. Also, don’t forget about that extra set of clothes that we spoke about in the previous post.

One of the simplest and most overlooked things you can do to prepare for a disaster is to have an extra set clothes in your car and at work. And the best part about it is, you probably have everything you require in your closet already.
So what’s the big deal about having an extra set of clothes? It doesn’t matter if you work in a high-rise or in a warehouse; in an emergency situation protecting your body from the elements is paramount. I would hate to think that I had to walk 10 or 20 miles from my office to the house in dress slacks and some nice shoes. The same holds true for the ladies, a dress and high heels isn’t the proper outfit for a natural disaster. Lets not forget that disasters never happen at opportune times, it’s always at the worst possible time.
Now, if you are like me your first inclination will be to get the worst set of clothes you can find and throw it in your car…don’t do it! The clothes you select should be some of the most comfortable that you own. This include shoes, socks and underwear, there is nothing worst than walking around with a pair of underwear or a pair of new boots that continually rub and chaff your skin.
The following is a list of items that I have found to be particularly helpful, maybe you will too!
• Hat
• Boots or tennis shoes
• Belt
• Cargo pants or jeans
• Shirt, preferable long sleeve
• Socks
• Underwear
• Rain Jacket
Once you have all your clothes together make sure and put them into a water proof bag, zip lock freeze bags work well or you can get a high-speed vacuum sealed bag which will compress everything down, even better. Good luck and be prepared!

What COULD you put into your car if you won the lotto ? Some of this camping gear, that's what.

Spare fan/serpentine belts and learn how to install them. Newer vehicles with a serpentine belt will leave you stranded if it breaks. Doesn't happen often but it can.
