Necessary Items

There are items we absolutely must keep in our purse at all times. Could not carrying the right cards and identification cost us big bucks? Well, not carrying the right things in your bag can really cost you. What are the essential items you need to carry?

When going out be sure to carry a driver’s license, or some other ID with you. You never know what situation you might find yourself in when you need to officially identify yourself. We often hear about incidences when a person had been seriously injured and the police were not able to identify them. Imagine the prolonged agony that a family goes through when a family member has gone missing during a flood and hears about bodies being found with no ID on them.

Carry a list of neatly printed emergency contacts. List home, work, and cell phone numbers of your family and friends. Be sure to have your cell phone handy to phone home if need be. If you have essential medications, tell the people with you about them. Bring a notepad and pen with you. You never know when you’ll need to document pertinent information from an accident or crime scene. Traveling is not easy. But you can make it easy, just by taking some precautions.
