ICE is one of of the most essential apps for emergencies available. It allows you to keep all of your information organized and in one place. The cool thing about this is that your emergency contacts can be called directly from the app. You can also store details like your doctor's information, your medical history, and medications that you're currently taking.

2. Winter Survival Kit

If your car gets stranded in severe weather, it can be quite scary. This app is a great way to have peace of mind if that happens. Winter Survival Kit can help you pinpoint your current location and alert emergency contacts if you become stranded. My favorite thing about this app is that it can calculate how long it's safe to have your engine running. The app will then alert you every 30 minutes to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
