Royal Canadian Marine Search & Rescue Station 33 Oak Bay. Volunteers providing 24/7 Marine Rescue services for the waters near Victoria, BC.
Oak Bay, BC Canada
Joined January 2013
Good advice from @USCGSoutheast - same applies with us @RCM_SAR. To report a marine emergency in BC, use VHF radio channel 16 or dial 911, or by cell phone dial #727 (SAR) or *16. Be safe out there. #SavingLivesOnTheWater #RCM_SAR 🛟
During an emergency, it's critical to use the proper channels to report distress—NOT social media. To reach the @USCG, use VHF radio channel 16 or dial 911. Our social media accounts are not monitored 24/7, and messages may not be seen right away, causing delays in rescue efforts
