- Stay on top of routine car maintenance like batteries, brakes, tires, and fluids
- Fill your car up with gas before you leave
- Always have more than one route out of town plotted out in case of bad traffic
- Be sure to take your pets with you, as well as any valuables and important paperwork
- Leave time to get out of town if you can, as the roads will be congested and the weather will be deteriorating
- Bring a paper map with you in case the cell towers go out
- Make sure your final destination has the accommodations you need – for example, if you bring pets along be sure that pets are allowed.
