I think you could add to this: Know that you may not be rescued for a long time. If the emergency services don't think you're at serious risk, they won't come get you until conditions improve. So if you're just on the ledge in the dark - they'll tell you to snuggle up and wait till it's safe for them to collect you when the sun comes up.
