Hazard Preparedness
Avoid Overexertion
Prevent dangerous fatigue and poor decision-making in arctic conditions by conserving energy. Move at a steady pace, avoid sudden exertion, monitor your body’s signals, and take frequent rest breaks in sheltered locations.
- Pace yourself during physical activity; avoid sudden, intense exertion which rapidly depletes energy and increases sweating (leading to chill).
- Monitor your body for signs of fatigue, shivering, or excessive sweating; stop and rest *before* exhaustion sets in.
- Take frequent, short breaks in sheltered areas (behind snowdrifts, trees, or structures) to rest, hydrate, and check gear.
Find Shade
Prevent dangerous heatstroke and conserve energy by actively seeking shade during the hottest parts of the desert day. Utilize natural formations (rocks, trees) or create makeshift shade, and plan strenuous activity for cooler times.
- Actively seek out natural shade sources such as cliffs, large boulders, caves, or the north side of dense vegetation during the hottest part of the day (typically late morning to late afternoon).
- If natural shade is unavailable, use a tarp, emergency blanket, or clothing to create artificial shade.
- Rest in the shade to conserve energy and water.
Create an Emergency Kit
Ensure self-sufficiency during severe weather by assembling an emergency kit with essentials: water, non-perishable food, first aid, medications, flashlight, radio, batteries, sanitation items, and important documents.
