Q

What are a surface units first on scene procedures?

3-24

A

usually an expanding square search (SS) is performed. If the search area is confined or there is reason to have a high degree of confidence for the selected datum (i.e., debris found), the surface SRU may use a sector search (VS). For an initial search, use the appropriate track spacing from Table 3-1 when the sweep width is not readily available.

Q

When is a SS pattern used?

3-26

A

This pattern is used when there is a high degree of confidence the search object is close to the estimated datum position. The first leg is normally in the direction of the search object’s drift. All course changes are 90 degrees to the right. If possible, the datum position should be marked with a suitable floating marker that will be visible from several track spaces away, such as a smoke float. Every effort should be made to keep the floating marker in the center of the pattern. Usually traditional DR navigation methods are used to accomplish this

Q

Who normally make the decision to forcibly evacuate a mariner?
4-19

A

SAR Coordinator (SC). If time does not permit consultation with the SMC and cognizant SC, and if in the On Scene Coordinator’s (OSC) objective judgment a life-threatening emergency exists affecting the subject vessel, and there is an immediate need for assistance or aid, the OSC may authorize this action. In this case, the SMC and SC shall be notified immediately.

40
Q

WHat is a safe haven?

4-14

A

In cases involving towing by the Coast Guard or Coast Guard Auxiliary, the vessel being assisted will normally be taken to the nearest safe haven that has an available means of communication, normally a telephone. Coast Guard or Auxiliary resources should not tow the vessel beyond the nearest safe haven when there are commercial resources that could perform this function. Exceptions to this policy may be made in specific cases if, in the judgment of the SMC, they are warranted by humanitarian or other concerns. When determining the suitability of a potential safe haven, the SMC should be sensitive to the reluctance of some private firms and yacht clubs to accept a disabled or damaged vessel and the attendant potential liability

(b) Alternative assistance is desired and arranged by the operator of the vessel being assisted; or
