Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRB)

An Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) is a device used primarily by mariners to alert rescue authorities in an emergency. When activated, it emits a distress signal via satellite and radio frequencies, transmitting its location to help rescue teams find boats or ships in trouble quickly. EPIRBs are designed to be reliable, durable, and simple to activate, providing a critical link between those in danger at sea and emergency services, significantly enhancing chances of rescue in life-threatening situations.
