International Aeronautical and Maritime Search and Rescue Manual

Dear little one, do you remember when we talked about rescue boats, airplanes and helicopters that help people when they are in trouble at sea or in the air? Well, there is a book that tells them how to do it!

This book is called the International Aeronautical and Maritime Search and Rescue Manual. It is like a guide for people who work in sea and air rescues, and it tells them what they should do in different situations when someone needs help.

For example, if somebody is lost in the ocean, the book tells rescuers how to search for them and how to help them once they find them. It also has lots of pictures and descriptions that explain what all the different rescue tools and methods are for.

The book is very important because it helps keep people safe when they are in danger. It also helps everybody know how to communicate with each other, even if they speak different languages, so they can work together and save lives. So, you see, this is a very important book that helps people help other people when they are in trouble.
