@SAR Readiness Plans
An Operational SAR Readiness Plan contains information that will provide the foundation for further, specific planning of individual operations. It is based on information that is researched and prepared well in advance.

The Operational SAR Readiness Plan will support the initial response by;
 * Clarifying expectations, roles, responsibilities and predictability
 * Improving communications, speed response times, reduce risk
 * Stating trigger points to escalate or change the response
 * Improving interagency coordination

The SAR Readiness Plan will consist of key information about;
 * Environment
 * Resources
 * First notification procedures
 * Incident planning procedures
 * Support requirements
 * Post Operation

Coastguard units must complete an operational report for every SAR and non-urgent assistance operation via the Coastguard intranet. Please read the and provide as much information as possible, especially in the notes field.
