Elements and Performance Criteria
- Prepare for construction of visual emergency signals
- Assess available natural and artificial resources for their application in emergency signalling.
- Examine local area and identify the ground that would afford optimum visibility to searchers but minimum physical effort to the survivor.
- Observe and note sun’s transit to determine the optimum placement of reflective signalling devices.
- Prepare emergency signalling devices for use
- Site and construct groundtoair emergency signals using purpose signal marker panels and/or improvised markers to optimise visibility from the air.
- Site and construct tinsel/Christmas tree devices using artificial resources to optimise visibility from the air.
- Site and construct an emergency signal fire to optimise visibility from the air, considering the prevailing wind’s effect (if any) on smoke trails.
- Site and excavate shadow trenches, considering the sun’s movement.
- Prepare purpose-built signalling devices.
- Employ visual emergency signals
