Card
"B"
Caller is trapped outdoors (not in a vehicle).
Q1:
Can you pinpoint your location?
Q2:
Can you see any signs or landmarks?
Q3:
Are you alone? If others are with you, are
they children or elderly?
Tell the caller...
If you are alone and
in a phone booth, stay there. If you are
calling on a cell phone, find shelter
(for everyone) as quickly as possible,
identify an obvious landmark nearby, and
report your location.
Try to stay dry.
Cover all exposed parts of the body.
If shelter
cannot be found:
Tell the caller...
Prepare a lean-to, windbreak, or snow
cave for protection from the wind.
Build a fire for heat, and to attract
attention.
Place rocks around the fire to absorb
and reflect heat.
Do not eat snow directly. Melt it first.
Frozen snow will lower your body temperature.
Exercise lightly and regularly to keep
your circulation active.
