Abstract
This study is a step-by-step process for examining the
need and probable effectiveness of new Coast Guard SAR
facilities. The vehicle for the study is a proposed Coast
Guard Air Station to be located at Arcata, California, but
the process is adaptable to any locale or any type of SAR
facility. Data from historic SAR incidents was analysed and
the SAR environment of the area to be served by the air
station was simulated. The study indicated that the air
station will reduce response time to maritime SAR incidents
15 to 25 minutes without considering possible delays caused
by low visibility at the Arcata airport. Additional study
in specific areas was recommended.
