Past StudiesPast Studies•Lake County parcel map for Fire Rescue Response• Iowa pre-deploying emergency vehicles in areas of high accident density. •Netherlands study to determine if the area was effectively covered by fire stations and where fire stations should be located to provide better coverage if gaps existed•Emergency response in the Gulf of Finland.

ObjectivesObjectives•Determine exact location of Coast Guard Assets •Create layer of Coast Guard Asset locations•Determine range/endurance of assets•Determine areas that no assets can reach within 6 hrs•Analyze results and make recommendation on where assets should be home ported and deployed to

Project InformationProject Information

• Cutter response time 6 hrs• Aircraft response before BINGO• Response times are calculated from homeports• All calculations have Aircraft flying to and from same Air Station • Cutter Characteristics taken from Register of Cutters• Aircraft Characteristics taken from U.S. Coast Guard Addendum to the

Analysis Analysis STAGE 1- Evaluate Current STAGE 1- Evaluate Current CoverageCoverage

• Determine where there is coverage1. Gaps in Coverage2. How many assets can reach each case3. Which cutters can reach the case4. Which aircraft can reach the case5. Which assets can respond (depending on mission)

Analysis Analysis STAGE 2-Evaluate New Coverage STAGE 2-Evaluate New Coverage AlternativesAlternatives

1. Identify different offshore areas to have assets staged to be ready for cases

2. Identify optimal US locations to homeport assets3. Determine Coast Guard coverage area downrange when aircraft is

deployed on cutters. How many cutters are needed in high threat vector to maintain acceptable coverage?

4. Identify differences in Coast Guard coverage with and without aircraft on deck

Anticipated ResultsAnticipated Results

• Gaps exist past 100 nm• Inshore area will be well covered by assets• Aircraft on deck of cutters increase coverage and operational

readiness.• Cutters need to be stationed offshore to respond to have adequate

offshore coverage.
