The SAR Forum is an annual event which requires strong coordination across multiple agencies conducting training for a unified, rapid and effective response to emergencies that may impact maritime commerce, public safety, and coastal communities. Through collaborative exercises and events—similar to the SAR Forum—with local law enforcement, fire departments, and emergency services the Coast Guard enhances its ability to prevent, prepare for, and response to maritime emergencies.
