Frequently Asked Questions / Safety and Emergency Preparedness

What should I do if I get lost?

Stop moving, stay calm, and stay put. Moving downhill on the North Shore almost always leads you into steeper, cliffier, and more dangerous terrain. Try your cell phone (911), use your whistle (three sharp blasts, repeated), put on extra layers, stay dry, and wait. Rescuers can find a stationary person much faster than a moving one.
