One sign. Four steps. Could matter in a real emergency.
Right fist (thumb up) on left open palm — lift both hands up together.
That's it. That's HELP.
Card 1 — Starting Position
Your dominant hand forms an A-handshape: closed fist, thumb pointing up.
Non-dominant hand is flat, palm facing up.
Rest your fist on that open palm, around waist height.
Card 2 — Motion
Move both hands upward together — smooth, direct, chest level.
Think of it as literally lifting someone up with your palm.
Card 3 — Ending Position
Same configuration, now at chest height.
Thumb still up, bottom palm still open and facing up.
Card 4 — In Context
"Please HELP me — I need assistance."
Keep your expression clear and direct. In emergency situations, this sign reads immediately.
First sign of the June Emergency Phrases series.
These are the signs worth knowing before you need them.
