Why? • Which tasks can safely be postponed until you are no longer in immediate danger from the ship itself?

✅ Before You Answer

• Consider the risk of suction, fire, explosion, or debris if you remain close to the ship • Ask: What must be done before you have time to organize equipment or treat seasickness? • Differentiate between urgent actions (seconds–minutes) and organizational/comfort actions (after immediate danger passes)
