Sortie Hours reflect the total time of all segments of the SAR System
(USCG, DOD, other federal, state, local, volunteer, etc) as reported to
and by the Coast Guard in responding to SAR incidents; includes not
only underway assets (aircraft, cutters, boats) but also coordination,
communication and other personnel only involvement. (source: Search
and Rescue Management Information System) Resource Hours reflect the
time spent by Coast Guard assets (aircraft, cutters, boats) in
responding to SAR incidents. (source: USCG Abstract of Operations
Reports)
Resource hours have generally been decreasing over the long term due to
better search planning tools, and wider use of electronic positioning
beacons that decrease the time needed to locate mariners in distress.
