    Rocket parachute flares, hand flares, and orange smoke signals can be used to attract attention in emergency situations at sea or on land. Rocket flares provide long-range signaling and should be fired vertically above the head with the rocket pointed away from people and property. Hand flares provide short-range signaling to pinpoint one's position and should be activated by extending the handle and pulling the toggle while holding the flare above the head downwind. Orange smoke signals are for daylight use only, such as for marking one's position in a liferaft during rescue operations and indicating wind direction by throwing the canister into the water downwind after activation.
