Each year, hundreds of Minnesotans find themselves stranded on the roadside. Hypothermia is the leading cause of death.
Winter weather can kill an unprepared person who is exposed to the elements within minutes.
Safe Behavior Assemble Winter Survival Kits for all of your vehicles. Keep them in the vehicles all winter. These items will be readily accessible if kept inside your vehicle. Whenever traveling in winter, call ahead to your destination and convey when you intend to leave, what travel route you will take, and your expected time of arrival. If you are stranded, never leave your vehicle.
