Did you know that over 400 people each year die inside sinking cars? You would think it would be a rare event, but careening a car into a lake is not the only way that people perish in sinking cars. It happens in the aftermath of hurricanes and floods, thus, we cannot over-stress the importance of having supplies on hand so that you do not find yourself in this situation.

Getting your information from movies and TV will get you killed. Especially because the media trains you to call 911 for assistance as your vehicle is submerging in water. Police and Rescue cannot reach you in time.

It is a horrible way to go – each year, dispatchers are haunted by the last words of people who chose to call 911 instead of act in the most crucial 30 seconds of their lives.
