EPIRB (Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon) Explained 📡

EPIRB (Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon) Explained 📡 Most people think a flare gun is the only way to call for help at sea, but that's not what saved these stranded sailors. After being stuck 90 miles off the coast, they fired their last flare. Luckily, they also had an EPIRB (Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon) on board. This small emergency device sends a distress signal directly to satellites and includes the user's exact location. Once activated, rescue authorities are alerted almost immediately and can track the signal to the source. In this case, the EPIRB guided rescuers straight to the stranded boat, helping bring the emergency to a safe end. #shorts #education #ships #emergency #rescue #lifesavingtechnology #switzerland #unitedstates #canada #germany
