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.
Build a Shelter
Protect yourself from the elements in a forest environment by learning to construct a temporary shelter. Choose a safe location and utilize natural materials like fallen branches, leaves, and bark to create insulation and cover.
- Prioritize shelter for protection from rain, wind, cold, and sun.
- Select a site: avoid hazards (widowmakers/dead branches, flash flood areas, insect nests), consider proximity to resources (water, firewood) but not too close to water risks.
- Utilize natural features: rock overhangs, dense evergreen stands, large fallen logs.
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.
- Include basics: Water (1 gal/person/day for 3-7 days), Non-perishable food (3-7 days), Battery/hand-crank Radio (NOAA preferred), Flashlight, Extra batteries.
- Add: First aid kit, Medications (7-day supply), Whistle, Dust masks.
