Audible Distress Signals, (ADS)
U.S. Coast Guard regulations require one hand,
mouth or power operated whistle or horn, audible
for at least 1/2 mile.
Other recognized audible distress signals include:
• Radio communication (see
Radio
Communication
below)
• Radio-telegraph alarm
• Position indicating radio beacon
• Morse Code S-O-S (3 short 3 long 3 short)
sounded by any means.
• Fog horn sounded continuously.
Radio Communication
A radio is the boat operator’s main method of
receiving safety information and summoning aid.
VHF-FM radio is the primary means of short range
communication. Single sideband radio (SSB) is used
for longer range communication.
VHF-FM channel 16 and SSB 2182 kHz are
designated for emergency use. Such situations can
be categorized as:
•
EMERGENCY
-
“MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY,”
- used
when life or vessel is in imminent danger.
•
URGENCY
-
“PAN-PAN, PAN-PAN, PAN-PAN”
(pronounced PAHN-PAHN)-used when a
person or vessel is in some jeopardy less than
indicated by a “MAYDAY” call.
•
SAFETY
-
“SECURITY, SECURITY, SECURITY”
(pronounced SAY-CURE-IT-AY)-used for
navigational safety or weather warning.
An emergency situation will be hectic and there will
not be time to learn proper radio procedure.
LEARN
WHAT TO DO BEFORE YOU NEED TO DO IT.
If you hear a distress call, stop all radio transmissions.
If you can directly assist, respond on the emergency
frequency. If you cannot assist, do not transmit on
that frequency. However, continue to monitor until
it is obvious that help is being provided.
Weather
Getting caught in severe weather is hazardous. Bad
weather and/or rough sea or water conditions can
cause an unsafe situation. Consult local weather
services for up-to-date forecasts on weather and sea
conditions. Television, Radio, and the Internet can
give you access to NOAA weather reports that will
help you make a determination on where and when
to get underway.
Following are some weather related rules:
• Understand the design limitations of your boat.
• Check the weather forecast and water conditions
before leaving and while underway.
• Wear a Personal Flotation Device (PFD)
DO NOT attempt to boat in severe weather
conditions. Death or serious injury can occur.
Get to shore before the weather turns bad.
