You have abandoned ship and are in charge of a life raft. How much water per day should you permit each occupant to drink after the first 24 hours?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — 1 pint

Survival craft rationing protocols dictate that water intake should be restricted during the first 24 hours to allow the body to adjust. Thereafter, the standard allowance is one pint per person per day to maintain hydration levels while extending the limited supply available in the survival kit.
