What should passengers focus on during the 'Survive Outside' phase according to the SOS guidelines?

During the 'Survive Outside' phase as outlined in the SOS guidelines, using safety cards and life jackets if needed is a critical focus. This phase emphasizes the importance of utilizing available resources to increase survival chances after an evacuation. The safety cards provide essential information about emergency procedures and equipment use, which can guide passengers in effectively navigating the situation. Life jackets are crucial for ensuring buoyancy and safety when submerged in water, especially if the evacuation involves a water landing. By prioritizing these safety measures, passengers can better protect themselves and manage their circumstances until they are rescued.

In contrast, while finding shelter, establishing communication, and counting passengers are important concepts in an overall survival strategy, they do not specifically highlight the immediate actions and resources available that the SOS guidelines prioritize during the initial moments outside an aircraft or in an emergency situation.
