Make traveling safer with these 5 apps

When you're out on the road any number of emergencies can arise, whether it's vehicle or passenger related. Here are some apps designed to keep you and your family safe while on the road.

Make traveling safer

ICE (In Case of Emergency) (iPhone)
ICE is an app for organizing your emergency medical and contact information. ICE uses the information you already have about your emergency contacts in your device's Contacts app so you don't have to store them separately.

Stranded? Dead battery? Flat tire? Accident? Whether on the road or at home, make yourself more visible to police, EMS, fire trucks, and tow trucks.

Car Care & Roadside Emergencies (iPhone)
Breakdowns happen. Tires go flat, car batteries die, and engines overheat. Car Care & Roadside Emergencies is a quick-reference guide that shows you how to handle the most common types of breakdowns. Car Care & Roadside Emergencies shows you how to:

Change a tire; Jump-start a battery; Deal with an overheating engine; Identify and respond to fluid leaks.

In addition, this app advises what tools and gear you should keep in your car to ensure you can handle any roadside emergency, and walks you through a pre-trip checklist that will minimize the likelihood that your car will suffer a breakdown in the first place.

Are you adequately prepared to care for someone in distress? Arriving on the scene of an emergency is both time sensitive and stressful.
