Hele 101: In An Emergency

Know what to do if find yourself in an emergency on the trail? 

IN AN EMERGENCY:

Call 911 - Ask for Fire/Rescue. Tell them which trail you're on and what happened.

Be Visible - Wear or wave something brightly colored. At night use a flashlight.

Be Noisy - Use a whistle to attract attention.

Stay Calm - Assess your situation before making any decision. Stay calm and positive.

Stay Put - You'll be found more quickly by staying in one place. Make sure to tell someone before the hike of your destination.

Stay Warm - Wind & rain can drain your body of warmth. Get out of the wind and use gear to stay warm.
