The Emergency Blanket

 

During the winter season, it is important to always be prepared when traveling. Emergency Response Supervisor Scott Banes and Incident Management Coordinator Marcus Slaughter learned about the emergency blanket from TMC Shift Supervisor Logan Hendrickson. They saw the importance of having emergency blankets within MoDOT’s emergency response trucks. This is to ensure comfort and safety of customers during extreme winter weather conditions. 

The emergency blanket creates a warm safety blanket to prevent life-threatening heat loss. The reflective insulation layer reflects 90 percent of your body's radiant heat to form warm air. All you must do is wrap the blanket around your torso to reduce the risk of hypothermia. “When out on the road you never know what type of situation you will come across. It’s important to be able to offer warmth to those in need during the winter months,” stated Slaughter.
