- "A distress signal, also known as a distress call, is an internationally recognized means for obtaining help. Distress signals are communicated by transmitting radio signals, displaying a visually observable item or illumination, or making a sound audible from a distance.
A distress signal indicates that a person or group of people, ship, aircraft, or other vehicle is threatened by the serious or imminent danger and requires immediate assistance.: PCG D−3 Use of distress signals in other circumstances may be against local or international law. An urgency signal is available to request assistance in less critical situations." - (en.wikipedia.org 26.05.2022)
