The first thing to remember: it is important to be visible in the forest. Bright colored clothing that can be seen from afar will help with this.
The second rule: you should only go into the forest with a fully charged phone, even if you plan to spend just a few hours in nature. It’s a good idea to put a power bank in your backpack.
Also, you should take all the pills that a person regularly takes, water, and snacks.
Rescuers recommend putting a compass in your bag, even if you don’t know how to use it: specialists over the phone will guide you and explain in detail how to use the device.
It is very important to inform your family where you are going and how long you will stay there before leaving. This way, relatives can start searching faster if something goes wrong.
– Remember: there is no three-day rule. You must report a missing person immediately by calling 112 or the “LizaAlert” hotline: 8 (800) 700-54-52, – rescuers said.
