Initially, a so-called FKN appearance or a corresponding weapon certificate is required for the emergency signal at the top. This is not freely available in Germany without this proof.

You should look where and when you need an emergency signal. In a nature reserve where little to no people live nearby, such a signal is less and could trigger forest fires.

You can use trimmer whips or signal whips, these can help attract attention without having to apply a lot of force. It is not the best solution, but could help without putting yourself or others in danger through signal weapons. Further possibilities would be the use of a signal horn.

GPS end devices with SOS function: A very elegant option would be the use of GPS handsets that have an SMS function or even better an SOS function. This can help you quickly find your coordinates.

It was already meant equivalent signal generators that shoot the signals

That wasn’t the question.
It says:

In an emergency situation – what alternatives are there to the NicoSignal?

“Make noteworthy” can be found with all the things I have mentioned above. Thus, the question of sequence is also alternatives to (this or one) signal transmitter.

And just as the points mentioned by me (of course) can all have their limitations and limits, so there are also those for the signal generator. 🤷

Freud You know, I’m turning my private time for you to call you other alternatives. 🤷

Please, please.

Honestly: Meckering and discussing because someone still gives good tips? How are you? 🙄

If you don’t think you need it, don’t worry. 😘

Each emergency signal device carried along is useful. However, I only have experiences with signal guns for civilians subject to weapons possession cards.

What comes from my experience with night vision equipment:

An IR or white light flasher can be seen with night vision devices on well 50km, which can be operated for hours.

The indicated visibility is in pure vision. With an eyeglasses visible over 50km.

Unfortunately, I cannot give you a link to the flashers used in military pilots, I am already retired.

Don’t forget to explain to the questioner that it is a signal weapon with “PTB in circle” that can only be carried with KWS. He doesn’t believe me.
