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 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.
