MD Marine Insurance recommends that you know all of the emergency procedures while experiencing the waterways.? Here are a few tips to keep you safe this season:
HOW TO ATTRACT ATTENTION IN AN EMERGENCY
- A VHF radio, which can be a portable (limited range, however), will enable you to summon help by calling the?Coastguard?on channel 16. This may also alert other vessels in your vicinity who may be able to provide assistance. If you are in an emergency situation involving injury or potential loss of property, issue a Mayday call on channel 16. Do NOT allow anyone other than the Coast Guard to move you to a different frequency. For more information view the ?Communications Page? on this site. Check out ?use of the VHF? for proper mayday procedures.
- Carry a portable foghorn and use the whistle fitted to your lifejacket to attract attention if necessary.
