As one of the Uk's main emergency services, HM Coastguard is responsible for initiating and co-ordinating search and rescue (SAR) operations at sea and around our coasts through its 18 Maritime Rescue Co-ordination Centres and its comprehensive command, control and communications systems. In co-ordinating the SAR response, the emergency response centres can call on a number of front link UK SAR assets which include the Coastguard Rescue Teams, RNLI lifeboats and SAR aircraft.
The Coastguard Rescue Service is a voluntary organisation consisting of 380 Coastguard Rescue Teams strategically located around the coast of the UK. Each team and its members are provided with search and rescue equipment, protective clothing and uniform appropriate to the team's rescue role. Team members, known as Coastguard Rescue Officers, are trained to a very high level in a wide range of capabilities specifically for the local coastal environment and the communities they live and work in.
