Default Internation Distress Signals

My favorite is a gun fired at one minute intervals. If you have the gun, why
do you need help?

Let's see... gun, red stars or parachute or handheld flare, continuous fog
horn, raising and lowering your arms (what if you only have one arm?),
square flag with round above or below it, fire, SOS, Mayday, flags NC, Eprib
signal I suppose.

Not sure about orange smoke....

Inverted US flag would probably work, but wouldn't work for some country
flags.

Easy Points for those of you who are POINTLESS.

For 1 point, name one of the many International
Distress Signals.

I can think of more than a dozen.

Bonus: 2 points. Which one do you think would
most likely be used in Texas?
