Help ! Help ! you scream into the salty

Help ! you call again . You hope against hope that

someone anyone can hear you across the water .

But there is no one . You are alone . You are

a castaway , adrift and lost at sea . How did this

happen ? How did you get here ? And what can

you do to survive?

It seems strange to think of someone lost

at sea . Modern boats and technology make it

seem impossible . But it does happen . Whenever

people are at sea , they should be prepared for

anything even a fight to survive.

!

survive a shipwreck .

food and water when

youre lost at sea .

Learn how to signal

for help .

How does someone wind up lost at sea ? Most

likely , it happens when youre on a cruise ship or

fishing boat that crashes or breaks down . Dont worry !

Boats usually have the tools you need to survive . So , if

you suddenly find yourself in the middle of a disaster ,

the most important thing you can do is keep your wits

about you . Then , wait for help to come .

Imagine the unthinkable happens . You are trapped

on a sinking boat ! Its decision time . Think fast!

You will need to consider five key areas of survival.

Flotation , warmth , freshwater , a signal , and food are all

essential . But there is one thing even more important

than any of these . It is you . How you act and react is

crucial . Thinking clearly and staying calm are the best

things you can do to ensure your safety and survival.

There

are

four

factors

that

affect

a

shipwreck.

They

are

out

of

your

control,

but

calm

and

think

clearly .

Plane

Crash!

Its less likely than a shipwreck ,

but an airplane can crash into

the water . Surviving such a

crash is rare , but it is possible . A

person in that situation should

stay calm and try to grab what is

needed to survive.

In the past years , there have been more

than 100,000 shipwrecks .

Anatomy of Anatomy of

a Shipwreck a Shipwreck

If you are knocked

overboard , a life

jacket will keep your

head above water .

A raft or other

flotation device

will keep you out

of the water until

help arrives .

There are many reasons ships

sink . Sometimes , a ship crashes

into rocks , ice , reefs , or other objects . If

a hole forms in the hull or body , water floods

into the ship . If too much water flows inside , it will

begin to sink . Other times , ships carry too much weight

and tip over during a storm . Can you find the five key things

below that will help someone survive this wreck ?
