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 procedures recommend limiting water intake to one pint per day after the first 24 hours. This rationing strategy is designed to conserve limited fresh water supplies, preventing dehydration and extending the survival time of occupants until rescue can be effected in a maritime emergency.
