Emergency Procedures

---

Through this diverse first aid, remote fieldwork, and seamanship training I have developed excellent emergency procedure skills and an ability to work calmly in such situations. I am trained in the following emergency procedures and use of emergency equipment:

Communication:

• Satellite phones
• Electronic Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRBs)
• Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs)
• Flares (Parachute, Handheld, Smokes)
• MAYDAY and PANPAN alert messages
• VHF DSC Marine Radio Distress calls

Firefighting:

• Fire extinguishers (CO2 gas, powder, water)
• Fire blankets

​Search and Rescue (Seafaring):

• Deployment of sea anchor, casualty drogues, and traditional anchors (grapnel, Danforth).
• Veering down on to casualties
• Search patterns (Expanding Square, Spiral Search, Sector Search, Shoreline Search, Parallel Track)
• White Parachute Search Flares
