Rescuers from Ministry of Emergency Situations call to observe the rules of conduct in the hiking tours to ensure the safety. The hiking tour needs to be projected as to avoid problems that may eventually cause injury or damage to hikers.
The General Directorate of the Russian Emergencies Ministry in the Republic of Adygea reminds:
• Make sure you take a map with you, a compass, communication means (mobile or cellular phone and charged spare batteries for them).
• Tell your relatives and friends about the route. If possible, register in the local search and rescue team. Identify the key return date. Agree on the periodicity of communication sessions.
• Each group member must have matches in a waterproof package, a lighter, knife and minimum food ration.
• When advancing on the ground, mark on the map all visible landmarks that can help you find the way back.
• If you got lost and you have no map, no compass, try to climb up on the highest tree possible and observe the surroundings. Then move down to the highway, railway, river or power lines: they will show you the way to the settlement.
• If possible, contact rescuers through "112". When waiting for rescuers move to an open land area (a field, river bank, etc.). Lay bright objects over the ground and hang them on the trees. This will help the rescuers if the search will be carried out from the air.
