We've all seen on television news the Xs spray-painted on houses as signals to searchers and rescuers. I didn't know until now that there is specific information coded into each quadrant. Image via the informed discussion at the whatisit subreddit. More information at TruePrepper and Southern Spaces.
I feel like I should use those markings as a way to keep people away from my house? Like a 'no trespassing' sign?
ReplyDeleteWhy not just use a No Trespassing sign? Misusing the rescue code as you suggest could potentially keep you from being rescued.
ReplyDeleteMany of the homes in the 7th ward of New Orleans, still bear the UDC's from Katrina, even when painted over..
