An SOS sign spotted by a helicopter pilot flying over a remote and inaccessible part of northern Western Australia has sparked fears a person or group of people could be missing.
Have just posted re an app that I and just about everyone I know has on their phone now - called Emergency +, is invaluable, uses gps technology - this is just the situation where it is needed. When you hit the 000 (for instance) your co-ordinates, address (where you are) and map, is sent to the authorities - if they can't ring you - there will be an alert out to authorities in the area. I personally would send it a couple of times, so they know it is genuine.

I always carry a gps EPIRB in the vechile and boat also a personal one when going trekking.
I reckon it's money well spent, what price do you put on your life.
