Both hands up. Fingers spread. Shake.
That's all it takes to sign EMERGENCY in ASL โ€” and it's one of those signs that just feels right. The rapid side-to-side trembling of both open hands looks exactly like the universal "something is very wrong" signal your body already knows.
The sign: Open both hands wide (all fingers spread, thumbs out), hold them at chest level with palms facing forward โ€” then shake them rapidly back and forth. The movement is bilateral and urgent.
Non-manual markers matter here: wide-open eyes, slightly parted mouth. The face completes the message.
Memory hook: imagine waving both arms frantically to flag someone down. That energy is exactly right.
"There's an emergency โ€” call for help!"
June theme: Emergency Phrases โ€” ep. 2 of the month. Yesterday we covered HELP. Keep going.
