Much of Oregon is expecting to see some severe winter weather ❄️❄️❄️over the next several days. That means driving might become a challenge. In cases where you are planning on traveling over mountain passes or at higher elevations, the best plan might be to just stay home. If you have to travel, most drivers know to always check their route using www.tripcheck.com and the weather forecast before hitting Oregon’s highways🛣. We are, however, seeing some people not thinking 💭 about what they should be prepared for in case of an emergency or extended delay. Your Oregon State Police Troopers see drivers and passengers all too often that are not properly prepared when a crisis hits, and they become stranded in several winter weather. 🔺Share your travel plans with friends or family. 🔺Ensure your vehicle is in proper working order and has a full tank of gas, traction tires, or chains, and all lights are in working order including hazard lights. 🔺Pack an emergency supply kit that should include water, a cell phone charger, a flashlight, a first aid kit, and food.
