Our coverage area is the world, or at least the part of the world that the various devices that we monitor can reach. To date we have conducted rescues as far south as the southern tip of South America and as far north as the Arctic Sea. As of the first quarter of 2010 we have coordinated the prosecution of SAR missions in well over 60 countries for everything from aircraft crashes to avalanches to piracy attempts. <br><br>We continue to pursue memoranda of understanding with the National Search and Rescue Secretariats or Ministries of countries around the globe to formally layout what our respective responsibilities and actions will be for the majority of the responses we are working jointly. </p> <p class="style27" style="width: 408px">With our leadership team having been involved in these areas for decades, we know we are ONLY as GOOD as our PARTNERS and we strive to maintain a very close working relationship with each of them. In fact, for SAR and RCC contacts worldwide we use the same COSPAS-SARSAT database that the RCCs around the world have access to, so we know whom to call and how. This can mean the difference of minutes if not more when conducting a SAR mission something that cannot be afforded. &nbsp; <br> <br>In addition to the official SAR agencies around the globe, we at the IERCC have formed alliances with partners internationally providing us access to resources that a given country may not have access to or that may be otherwise tied up when we call. This capability puts the IERCC ahead of the problem in many instances if this situation were to arise. </p> </td> <td class="style22" valign="top"> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 100%; height: 379px"> <tr> <td style="height: 117px"> <img alt="" height="188" src="SAR-MISSION-CANADA.jpg" width="323"></td> </tr> <tr> <td> <img alt="" height="188" src="AUSTRALIAN-MARITIME-SAFETY-1.jpg" width="323"></td> </tr> <tr> <td> <img alt="" height="178" src="MEDIVAC-ALASKA.jpg" width="323"></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <p class="style17" style="width: 773px; height: 1px"><strong>To return, please close this page</strong></p> </td></tr> </tbody></table></body></html>
