Question: 1 / 140

Why is it important to signal for help continuously when lost?

It can make the search process longer

When lost, it is important to signal for help continuously because it can potentially make the search process shorter. If you stop or pause signaling, the rescuers may not be able to hear your signals immediately or may lose track of your location. However, signaling continuously increases the chances of them hearing and locating you sooner. Stopping to scare away wild animals or to stay active and keep warm can actually hinder the search process and delay your rescue.
