Coast Guard Thread

[USCG flyer]

UCSGflyer,

thanks...

does the Coast Guard have any program in place to do "community based" interface with local agencies, commercial boat captains, etc?

what is the best process for input on the local level?

Most units have a Public Affairs officer that does exactly this type of work. Often it is a collateral duty and they are an operational type. I will get you the information you need, I'm in transit back to Mobile, AL today, so it might take me a day or so to get you a name and number. Most often, as we relate to diving, aviation is the assest to contact for dive emergencies. Since a boat ride back on your boat or our boat won't get someone to the chamber any quicker. We frequently do diver medevac.
