Lifebelts are usually made of foam or buoyant materials designed to provide flotation for individuals in distress in the water. The materials used are lightweight and durable to ensure they are effective in helping keep a person afloat. Some lifebelts may also include reflective tape or straps for added visibility in emergency situations.
A distress flare typically contains magnesium as the pyrotechnic material. Magnesium burns at high temperatures and produces a bright white light, making it effective for signaling in emergency situations.
