The "Benton County" Emergency Vehicle Kit
Benton County Oregon is nestled against the foothills of the Coast Range, and is just a short distance from the mighty Cascade Mountains. The Benton County Sheriff's Office (BCSO) and associated Search and Rescue organizations are more than familiar with the difficulties people get into while driving on vacations, back roads, and in the winter months.
Based on their experience, the BCSO Office of Emergency Management published the following brochures to aid travelers in travel preparedness.
The information in these brochures inspired Red-E Supply to assemble this great kit to help you meet these recommendations.
