Search and rescue co-ordinators are responsible for the planning, co-ordination, conduct and control of maritime search and rescue operations. Once the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) is notified that a person(s) or vessel(s) is in distress, the search and rescue co-ordinator organizes the rescue. All available information about the person(s) in danger is gathered and recorded. The co-ordinator seeks out the positions of nearby vessels and other resources capable of providing aid to the search and rescue effort. Search and rescue co-ordinators are trained to evaluate various situations and send the most effective resources to deal with any incident.
