🔍 Key Concepts

• Purpose of an EPIRB (Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon) • How search and rescue units detect and locate survivors • SOLAS/USCG guidance on when to activate distress alerting equipment

💭 Think About

• In an abandonment situation, what is your primary objective regarding communication and location? • Would delaying activation help or hurt search and rescue efforts, and why? • Do light/dark conditions or presence of other vessels change the EPIRB’s basic purpose?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify when distress equipment should be used: any time there is grave and imminent danger requiring immediate assistance • Confirm whether there is any regulatory requirement to wait a specific time (e.g., one hour) before activating an EPIRB • Consider whether EPIRB use depends on time of day or visual contact with other vessels
