Weston suggest that people who travel the route frequently consider investing in a satellite phone.

Two emergency call boxes along the route will connect people to 911 dispatch in case of emergency. One is located at the Turnagain Pass snow machine parking lot. Another is located at the interchange for Hope.

“We’re all Alaskans and we have to look after each other. And so that goes for being prepared when you do a trip, but also looking after each other if you come across another person that in an accident,” Weston said.
