Winter driving has hit us like a slushy, frozen snowball in the ear. Here in Twin Falls, for the most part, you have to drive to get where you're doing. Even if you're just driving to Target down on Blue Lakes, make sure you’re prepared with a Winter Emergency Preparedness Kit. This is a simple collection of items that you can keep in a backpack in the truck that could mean all the difference in an emergency.

No batteries required. This way your lifeline: your mobile phone is charged, or can be charged, to call for help.
