KEY: R = revised; U = data are not available.
a Responses are the number of U.S. Coast Guard units
involved. Sorties are the number of trips made by boat, aircraft, or cutter.
b Search and Rescue resource hours represent the time
that Coast Guard assets (i.e., aircraft, boats and cutters) perform Search and
Rescue operations.
c Those persons whose lives were lost before the U.S.
Coast Guard was notified of an incident.
d Those persons whose lives were lost in an incident
to which the U.S.Coast Guard was responding, but who were alive at the time
the U.S. Coast Guard was notified of the incident.
e The Search and Rescue management Information System's
reporting policy has been revised and now requires complete reporting on all
lives saved. This policy also includes reporting on "lives saved"
in connection with Coast Guard Law Enforcement Activity (i.e., Alien Migrant
Interdiction Operations (AMIO)). AMIO lives saved in fiscal year 1992 was determined
to be approximately 12,000. AMIO lives saved in fiscal year 1994 was determined
to be 15,179.
f The Egypt Air (217 fatalities) and Alaska Air (88
fatalities) crashes account for the increase.
