Information must be gathered and evaluated to determine the nature of the distress, the appropriate emergency phase classification, and what action should be taken. 410 AWARENESS STAGE The first receipt of information by the SAR system of an actual or potential SAR incident initiates the Awareness Stage. Persons or craft in distress may report a problem, nearby personnel may observe an incident, or an uncertainty may exist due to lack of communication or to non-arrival. If the SAR facility receiving the information is an operational facility, and the situation warrants, the facility should take immediate action to respond to the incident and should report to the RCC simultaneously. 411 Receipt and Recording of Information
The receiving and recording of information should not delay other SAR response. Communications should be maintained with a person or craft reporting an emergency, and they should be kept advised of action being taken. Shifting frequencies should be avoided. When a frequency shift is necessary, positive communication should be established on the second frequency before leaving the first. For incidents reported by telephone, the name and telephone number of the caller should be recorded in case additional information is needed later. 412 SAR Incident Data Whenever possible, SAR incident data should be collected from the reporting source, with the most important information gathered first in case communication is lost. If, while information is being gathered, the need for an immediate response is indicated, SRUs should be dispatched. In addition, see Chapter 8 for specifics of Land SAR. The following information is desirable: A. Type of incident and nature of the emergency. B. Location and time of the incident. 1. Planning and action depend on establishing, as accurately as possible, the location of the incident. The person accepting the information should verify location information: a. If the location given used a coordinate system (latitude and longitude), ask how the position was determined (i.e. bearing, ranges, or LORAN C lines including the stations and rates). b. If the position is a known geographical location, obtain bearings to other known objects in the immediate area, or a description of the reference object(s). 2. The time at which the incident took place, or when the person or craft was last seen or known to be in a verifiable location, affects search planning, especially datum computation. 4-1
