• Leaving behind a TracMe card (found in the original TracMe Locator Beacon package) and your trip itinerary with a roommate, spouse or family member. Let them know when you are expected to return or receive a phone call from you at the trailhead after your trip. If they don’t hear from you at the appointed time, they will contact the local Law enforcement office’s office near your trail to initiate a search. • At the trailhead, the Sheriff or local law enforcement agency will know your general whereabouts from your trip itinerary – and that you are carrying a TracMe Locator Beacon since you have left a TracMe card on your dashboard (your TracMe dashboard card is in the original package from the purchase of your beacon). • The local search and rescue group will use their local signal equipment to track your Help….Emergency signal.
