Dauphinee says these things plus items like extra clothes and a blanket will help keep you safe and warm if you get stuck in a bad situation. If you do find yourself or someone else stuck in some snow or off the road, she explains precautions to take.

If you, or someone you come across needs help and it’s not an emergency, Dauphinee says there’s a number to call instead of 911. You can call 1-888-310-1122 or *OPP (677) on your phone. This way you’ll be connected to the OPP, but it’s not an emergency situation.
