Answer 13

Active Search Suspended - is a Coast Guard autority that is used in search and rescue missions. The SAR Coordinator District Commanded designates the authority

Answer 14

POS is a statistically generated measure of search effectiveness and is the probability that a given search will succeed in locating the search object POS=POC x POD

Answer 15

The statistical measure of average detection performance over a searched area. It is a function of sweep width, Level of effort, and size of the area searched. POD answers the question "if the search object was in the searched area at the time of the search, what was the probability of detecting it?"

Answer 16

The probability that the search objext are contained in a particular area. Using SAROPS we can develop containment probabilities for a particular instant in time based upon drift and scenario assumptions.

(1) Probable false alerts. (2) Cases with only assistance to lives or property. (3) Cases that resolve on their own. (4) Cases where the only Coast Guard involvement is a communications schedule.

Answer 20

LANTAREA: A derelict vessel is a craft that has been purposely left unattended and in significant disrepair, such that it may affect the seaworthiness of the vessel and/or affect the safety of the public or the environment - SMC shall evaluate whether a search is necessary after an SRU, OGA, or other trusted sources have investigated the subject craft.

Answer 21

Overdue: The time of expected arrival has passed and individual(s) has/Have not been heard from or arrived at destination Unreported: the time of expected arrival has not arrived, nut the individual(s) has/have not been heard from. - not required to launch for these cases as distress is not assumed, however, the entirety of the situation should be examined to determine if distress might exist.

Answer 22

SAR Addendum section 4.4 SMCs shall assume the responsibilities of the Incident Commander upon receiving a report of a fire involving a commercial vessel or waterfront facility that involves search and rescue. As the incident evolves beyond normal search and rescue actions, consideration shall be given to identify the appropriate firefighting authority with specific firefighting expertise. The discussion to determine the appropriate agency for Incident Commander or members of the Unified Command shall occur as the Incident Command is established. Once an initial Incident Command is established, SMC shall transition firefighting coordination to the firefighting authority

Answer 23

Coast Guard personnel shall be prepared for and respond to fires onboard Coast Guard Vessels. Coast Guard personnel shall not engage in independed firefighting operations except to save a life or in the early stages of a fire to avert a significant threat without undue risk Commercial vessels and waterfront facilities - Coast guard personnel shall not actively engage in firefighting except in support of a regular firefighting agency under the supervision of a qualified fire officer.

Answer 24

SAR Addendum Section 4.3 When commercial salvors are on scene performing salvage, Coast Guard units may assist them within the unit’s capabilities, if the salvor requests. When no commercial salvage facilities are on scene, Coast Guard units should only engage in salvage other than towing when limited salvage operations (e.g., ungrounding, pumping, damage control measures, etc.) can prevent a worsening situation or complete loss of the vessel. Any salvage operations shall be performed at the discretion of the unit CO/OIC.

Answer 25

A.) allowing the next tide to refloat the vessel B.) Helping the mariner set anchors C.) evacuating the passengers D.) Helping the mariner determine the vessel's seaworthiness

Answer 26

The Coast Guard is under no obligation to agree to any such request or demand. If a decision to comply with such a request is made, it should be made clear that the operator is assuming the risk of the operation. The fact that the action is undertaken at operator’s request, and is against Coast Guard advice, should be logged.
