Will Husband make it home tonight??

Due to the snow storm that was supposed to come Sunday night- waited until Monday mid-day and trapped my husband on the otherside of the mountian!! He has school tonight- so left Heber City at 2pm. Maybe I'll be more prone to add the 24 hour car emergancy kit after today.
Here is what should be in a prepardness kit:
Protein/Granola Bars
Trail Mix/Dried Fruit
Crackers/Cereals (for munching)
Canned Tuna, Beans, Turkey, Beef, Vienna Sausages, etc ("pop-top")
Canned Juice
Candy/Gum
Water (1 Gallon/4 Liters Per Person)
Blankets and Emergency Heat Blanks (that keep in warmth)
Change of Clothing (short and long sleeved shirts, pants, jackets, socks, etc.)
Battery Lighting (Flashlights, Lamps, etc.) Don't forget batteries!
Extra Batteries
Flares
Radio (with batteries!)
Pen and Paper
Axe
Pocket Knife
Rope

Though we are lucky because just south of where Brey went around the mountian (he's now going north) There was a 20 car /12 semi truck pile up on the freeway with lots of 'critical' condition people in hospitals. For Brey it might truly be a 4 hour drive home. I-15 North bound is pretty much closed so he'll try taking backroads- maybe people were more safe on those roads. Hopefully he returns safely and maybe even making it to school. We'll see! -Hillary

I would add a book or two to your emergency kit. That way you have something to read while you're stuck. Hopefull he gets home safe.
