READPlanning a trip into the great outdoors? Take a PLB with you!
A personal locator beacon (PLB) is a safety device that quickly alerts SAR services of your location in an emergency (land or sea).
Monitored by the Cospas-Sarsat satellite and relayed to the NZ Rescue Coordination Centre, a PLB can summon help whereever you are on the planet - no matter how remote - and pinpoint your location within 62m.
Cost needn't be a factor in your safety decisions - the Wairarapa Rescue Trust has PLBs for public hire.
