Courtley said it's vital to have multiple options at the ready to escape danger. Courtley said that the worst thing you can do is nothing at all, and don't wait for someone to come and rescue you. You can't expect somebody that will be there to assist. Courtley suggests having a "go bag" in the truck or behind the passenger seat of your car.
You can tailor the "go bag" items based on your preferences, such as if you have children, but some of the items he suggested having were a water filtration system, a multi-tool, water resistant pouches for documents and electronics, three days worth of prescriptions, first aid items and a poncho. If you find yourself stuck in your car during a disaster, do you abandon the vehicle or stay put?
Courtley said "it depends on the situation.
In an avalanche, Courtley said, the best thing to do is stay in the car, but if the car is on fire, then you will want to get out as fast as possible.

Then Courtley suggested bringing legs to your chest to keep warm -- your body heat will keep car warm for a while and snow acts as an insulator.
Don't open doors or windows, he said, because "snow is like cement. You won't be able to push past it, but it will flow into your car and fill it up. Courtley said your car will act as an air pocket for a couple of hours, so it is important to breathe slowly and evenly to make your supply last. Don't light a fire, even a cigarette, inside the car because you will be using up precious oxygen, he added. You should also honk your horn repeatedly to get people's attention. A car is not the safest place in a tornado, Courtley said, who suggested getting out of the vehicle and either taking shelter in a completely covered structure or laying down in the nearest ditch.
You can also try to get out of its path by driving 90 degrees to the right or 90 degrees to the left, he said. The goal is to have the tornado in your rearview mirror. If there is no time to get out of your car, Courtley suggested staying buckled in and lay as low as possible inside, below the windows, to protect yourself from flying debris and broken glass.
