As the days and nights get colder, it becomes even more important to take precautions for the possibility of being stranded in the cold. Meade County Emergency Management Director Ron Dodson says that having a winter preparedness kit in one’s vehicle is of the utmost importance.
In addition, Dodson recommends ensuring that any vehicle that will be taking the road is ready to do so in wintry conditions. This includes checking tires and gas tanks to ensure the safest experience possible on the road.
