Which organization is NOT making up Local Maritime SAR Councils?

• A. Captains of the Port
• B. Branch FEMA Office
• C. Local Emergency Medical and Firefighting Services
• D. Coast Guard Pacific Area

Answer: (D)

Local Maritime SAR Councils are built from partners who operate at the local level to plan and coordinate rescue efforts. The Captains of the Port lead the council in their port jurisdiction, FEMA’s Branch Office provides federal coordination and resources, and Local Emergency Medical and Firefighting Services contribute on-scene medical and rescue capabilities. The Coast Guard Pacific Area, however, is a regional command that oversees multiple ports and sectors, not a local member organization of the council. So, this regional command is not part of the Local Maritime SAR Councils.
