Keep our 5-in-1 whistle nearby for use after an earthquake, hurricane or other storm. Whistles can be used to attract attention after a disaster when you may be trapped inside a building and unable to remove yourself from debris. In addition, whistles are an excellent preparedness tool when trapped in a burning home with dark smoke. Blowing the whistle can alert first responder emergency providers of your location. Our 5-in-1 whistle comes with a signal mirror, waterproof match storage, a compass and plastic case with lanyard which also makes it great for camping supplies.

Two of the most effective ways to attract attention to you when lost or trapped in the aftermath of a disaster are by sight and sound. Where possible, blow a whistle to attract attention and follow the blowing of the whistle with directing the sun off of the emergency mirror to allow emergency rescue to visually locate you.

When you are lost and cannot find your way back to camp, unscrew the waterproof match box and use the matches to light a fire and provide warmth and protection during the night. Fires can also be started (ALWAYS WITH CAUTION) to create smoke which will alert emergency rescue on your whereabouts.

Another great feature of the 5-in-1 whistle is the compass. Before you go hiking, make sure you have a map of the area and a compass. If you get lost, simply pull out your compass and reorient yourself.
