What should you ensure when responding to a capsizing, swamping, sinking, or grounding incident?

You are wearing your PFD or lifejacket
Take photos for insurance
Make a swim for shore immediately
Secure all personal belongings

The correct answer is: You are wearing your PFD or lifejacket

In responding to a capsizing, swamping, sinking, or grounding incident, the most important priority is to ensure your own safety. This includes wearing a personal flotation device or lifejacket, as it can greatly increase your chances of survival in the water. Options B and D are not priorities in this type of incident, as they may delay your swift response to the situation. Option C may even put your safety at risk, as you should only attempt to swim for shore if it is a safe distance and you are physically able.
