Saved by the BeaconImagine you’re away from the coast, you don’t even see land anymore. Even worse, imagine that your boat is now taking on water and you don’t have cell phone reception. What do you do? The NSBC’s Saved by the Beacon national campaign educates recreational boaters about the importance of 406 MHz beacons and how to use them correctly in the case of a boating emergency.
Carrying an emergency communication device can aid in an efficient and effective rescue, but don't forget about the distress signaling device that can bring rescuers in the final mile. Watch Sgt Sean Mitchell explain just how important it is to carry distress technology so search and rescue teams find you as soon as possible. Resources
Thank you, ACR Electronics, for your partnership to raise awareness about emergency locator beacon purchases and registration.
Here are just a few highlights of lives that were "Saved by the Beacon."
