Safety Equipment

In many emergency situations, the Coast Guard

can provide assistance in obtaining medical advice

for treatment of serious injuries or illness. If you

are within VHF range of a Coast Guard Station,

make the initial contact on channel 16 and follow

their instructions.

1.9 Additional Safety Equipment

Besides meeting the legal requirements, prudent

boaters carry additional safety equipment. This

is particularly important if you operate your boat

offshore. You should consider the following items,

depending on how you use your boat.

Satellite EPIRBS

EPIRBs (Emergency Position Indicating Radio

Beacon) operate as part of a worldwide distress

system. When activated, EPIRBs will send distress

code homing beacons that allow Coast Guard

aircraft to identify and find them quickly. The

satellites that receive and relay EPIRB signals are

operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration (NOAA) in the United States. The

EPIRB should be mounted and registered accord-

ing to the instructions provided with the beacon,

so that the beacon’s unique distress code can be

used to quickly identify the boat and owner.

Marine Radio

A marine radio is the most effective method of

receiving information and requesting assistance.

VHF marine radios are used near shore and single

sideband radios are used for long range commu-

nication.

There are specific frequencies to use in an emer

gency. The VHF emergency channel is 16 in

the United States. You should read the owners

manual for your radio and know how to use it in

an emergency or for normal operation. If you

hear a distress call you should assist or monitor

the situation until help is provided.
