Coast Guard - Northwest Watch

Coast Guard - Northwest Watch

'Northwest Watch' program. Assist the US Coast Guard with search and rescue cases. Volunteers would assist watch standers by being available to observe from their residence, or travel to an area of an actual distress taking place.

We are proposing to manage a robust and well-informed network of civilian volunteers living on or near all of the Thirteenth District’s waters; having a good view of the water here is essential. When needed, any Coast Guard unit with access to the D13 intranet, could identify a geographic-specific volunteer and call upon them to assist operations.
