You may find yourself in your car driving when a disaster strikes. Remember that for an earthquake, you should stay in your car and away from bridges, trees, buildings and utility wires. For a hurricane you should listen to your radio for instructions. Do not drive near the vicinity of the storm. For floods, stay away from flooded roads. Only two feet of moving water can pick your car up and swish it away. For tornadoes, never try to out drive one, they can change direction quickly and can lift up a car and toss it through the air. Get out of the car and take shelter in a nearby building or get in a ravine or ditch. It is important to carry a first aid kit and 72 hour kit in your car at all times.
