 No regulations in the laws may be hindering a land station, during distressful situations, to use all means necessary to help a mobile station during an emergency.
 As of IARU's recommendation's there are no specific emergency signal in the ham bands and no allocated emergency frequencies in the ham band.
-SOS (… - - - ...)
-MAYDAY (Phone)
+The distress signals ham radio operators need to know are:
-NÖDANROP (Phone, Swedish)
+  * **SOS** (. . . - - - . . .), distress call in morse
+  * **MAYDAY**, distress call over voice
+  * **NÖDANROP** used in Swedish.
-CQ EMERGENCY (May be used)
+Sometimes also **CQ EMERGENCY** is used, but it is discouraged.
+IARU and PTS have not allocated any ham radio frequencies for emergency traffic. In Sweden, the frequencies used are
-**Frequencies (non-ham):**
+  * 121,5 MHz AM (Flight band).
-,5 MHz AM (Flight band).
+  * 156,8 MHz FM (Marine VHF channel 16)
-,8 MHz FM (Marine VHF channel 16)
 To do during emergency traffic:
-  * Stop		Stop transmission
-  * Listen              Listen and write down the emergency message
-  * Alert		If the emergency traffic is not responded to by authorities, call 112. Ask for flight/sea/similar rescue and mention your notes.
+  * **Stop** your own transmission
+  * **Listen** to the transmission and write down the distress call
+  * **Call 112**, request whatever help is needed. **Explain clearly** that you heard the distress call over radio. Your phone number's location code is probably different from where the emergency is.
-If you get response from an distressed person:
+If you get a response from the person in emergency, ask about
-  * Where? 		Where is the accident? (Position)
-  * What?		What has happened?
-  * Who? 		Who is it who calls?  (Call sign/boat name)
-  * How? 		Does the distressed person need help? (ambulance/medicine/fire brigade/police/sea rescue?)
-  * When?		Note down time and frequency for the message
+  * **Where** did the incident occur?
+  * **What** has happened?
+  * **Who** is calling?
+  * **How** does the person need help?
+  * **When** did the incident occur.
+If you yourself end up in an emergency situation:
+  * If you can make an alarm in any other way than ham radio, please do. Call 112, use real emergency frequencies
+  * If you have to use ham radio, choose a frequency that has a lot of active listeners and also you can make yourself heard at. Use a repeater if you can!
+  * Call **MAYDAY FROM SA6XYZ** and think about the following
+  * Explain **where** the emergency is taking place
+  * Explain **what** has happened. Prioritize important information: what kind of help is needed, what has happened, have people been harmed, do people risk being harmed, etc.
+  * Watch the radio: answer questions that can come, keep the frequency clear by calling MAYDAY, ask all listeners to forward the information
+  * When help has arrived, call an end to the mayday.
