KEY: 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 Includes several out of the normal high cost incidents.
f 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.
g The Egypt Air (217 fatalities) and Alaska Air (88 fatalities)
crashes account for the increase.
