Which of the following actions should you take if you get lost?

  1. Keep moving to find your way out

  2. Use a flashlight to signal SOS

  3. Stay in one place and wait for help

  4. Try to call a friend with your cell phone

The correct answer is: Stay in one place and wait for help

If you get lost, the best course of action is to stay in one place and wait for help. This option is the safest choice because if you keep moving, you could potentially get even more lost. Additionally, if you use a flashlight to signal SOS, there is no guarantee that someone will see your signal. Trying to call a friend may also not be an effective solution since you may not have signal or your battery may die. Waiting for help allows search and rescue teams to track your last known location and come to your aid. It also conserves your energy and prevents the risk of going even further off track.
