Marine Emergency Signaling & Survival Quick Reference – Waterproof Boating Safety Guide (8.5" x 11")
This durable waterproof reference card provides a clear, comprehensive overview of marine emergency signaling and survival procedures. Designed for real-world boating emergencies, it’s printed on thick, weather-resistant plastic and sized at 8.5" x 11" for fast readability under stress. The card is double-sided and 3-hole punched, making it easy to mount near a VHF radio, store in a binder, or keep with navigation and safety materials onboard.
The front focuses on immediate distress actions and rescue initiation, while the back covers survival priorities and signaling until help arrives. It consolidates critical USCG-aligned procedures into a single, easy-to-scan format intended for rapid reference when time and clarity matter most.
Key Features:
- Covers core marine emergency procedures: MAYDAY and PAN-PAN distress calls, marine distress signals, VHF DSC distress alerting, EPIRB and PLB activation, flare and smoke signal use, and false-alarm cancellation
- Includes survival essentials: priorities at sea, cold-water survival techniques (H.E.L.P. and huddle), staying warm in the water, adult CPR basics, and emergency contacts
Two guides in one: front for immediate emergency communication and rescue initiation; back for survival and signaling until rescued - Waterproof, heavy-duty plastic construction designed for saltwater, UV exposure, and repeated handling
- Large 8.5" x 11" format with 3-hole punch for binders or bulkhead mounting near critical equipment
This marine emergency cheat sheet is a practical, rugged alternative to bulky safety manuals. It’s an essential onboard reference for boat captains, sailors, maritime students, and USCG exam prep—and a highly useful safety gift for boaters who want critical information immediately at hand.
