The quickest and most efficient way to get help when you need it is to know your exact location.

🚑 Take note of the street address of your accommodations—not the house name.
🚑 Pay attention to the street you access the beach from, the beach access name or what milepost you are closest to. Every second counts in an emergency!
🚑 If available, send someone to meet the first responders at the nearest access point to help emergency responders locate you quickly.
