Public Information Statement

Statement as of 9:22 AM CDT on May 20, 2013


... This is safe boating week from may 18th to 24th day 3...

... Emergency position indicating radio beacons...

The following is a safe boating message from the National safe
boating Council.

Emergency position indicating radio beacons or E p I r b are a
type of emergency radio Beacon developed for use in marine
environments. Other types of emergency radio beacons such as
personal locator beacons or p l b are available for different
applications... however their effectiveness can be compromised
when used in marine environments. The cospas-sarsat system is an
international satellite based search and Rescue system used to
locate emergency radio beacons transmitting on a frequency of 406
mhz. Epirb can be divided into two categories. Category 1 epribs
are activated automatically or may be activated manually.
Category 2 epirbs can only be activated manually. Either of these
two types of epirbs may be equipped with GPS which will help
Rescue forces locate you more quickly. As proven by experience...
an epirb often serves as the last line of defense when disaster
strikes. All types of epirbs are becoming increasingly affordable
and all mariners should investigate procuring one... especially
those operating in harsh environments or offshore areas.
