b. National Search and Rescue Plan.
By federal interagency agreement, the National Search and Rescue
Plan provides for the effective use of all available facilities in all types of SAR missions. These facilities include
aircraft, vessels, pararescue and ground rescue teams, and emergency radio fixing. Under the plan, the U.S. Coast
Guard is responsible for the coordination of SAR in the Maritime Region, and the USAF is responsible in the
Inland Region. To carry out these responsibilities, the Coast Guard and the Air Force have established Rescue
Coordination Centers (RCCs) to direct SAR activities within their regions. For aircraft emergencies, distress,
and urgency, information normally will be passed to the appropriate RCC through an ARTCC or FSS.
