🔍 Key Concepts

• Survival craft search and rescue (SAR) principles – how rescuers find you most easily • Effect of drift, wind, and current on a liferaft’s position over time • Importance of staying together and being predictable for rescuers

💭 Think About

• In an abandon-ship situation, who is most likely coming to help you, and where will they start looking? • What information about your position would already be known to rescue authorities right after you send a distress signal or activate an EPIRB? • How could moving a long distance from the sinking position affect rescuers’ ability to locate you quickly?

✅ Before You Answer

• Consider where SAR units are first directed: last known position, reported by the vessel • Think about whether a small liferaft is easy or hard to spot if it keeps changing position intentionally • Ask: which option makes your location most predictable and easiest to search based on your last known position?
