🔍 Key Concepts

• Search and Rescue (SAR) procedures and how rescuers plan search patterns • The importance of being visible and predictable to rescuers after abandoning ship • How EPIRBs (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons) and distress alerts give your approximate position

💭 Think About

• If rescuers know the ship’s last position, how will they plan their search area for lifeboats or rafts? • What effect does moving a long distance from the abandonment position have on the chances of being found? • Which option best supports conserving supplies and making it easiest for rescuers to locate you?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice keeps you closest to the known distress position • Check which action makes your movement most predictable and trackable for rescuers • Eliminate any options that would rapidly use up fuel or send you far away from the distress position without a clear rescue benefit
