🔍 Key Concepts

• Survival priorities in a liferaft (what must be done immediately vs what can wait) • Effects of seasickness on dehydration and survival • When to worry about position, food, and pyrotechnics in an emergency

💭 Think About

• Which option, if delayed, could quickly reduce everyone’s ability to function or survive in the liferaft? • Which tasks can safely be done after people are stabilized and able to think clearly? • In the first minutes after boarding, what human physical problem is most likely in rough conditions and small craft?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice directly affects crew health and ability to function in the next few hours. • Decide which actions (food rationing, checking gear, navigation) are important but not immediately critical in the first minutes. • Consider standard survival teaching: first protect people, then worry about position and signaling.
