USCG – hurricane & heavy weather contingency plans

My compilation of USCG Hurricane & Heavy Weather Contingency Plans has been updated to include the revised Northern New England plan that a Coast Guard friend brought to my attention. Please advise if you become aware of new or revised contingency plans that should be included in the compilation. (8/23/16) [http://www.brymar-consulting.com/wp-content/uploads/HCP/HCP_160823.pdf].

Bering Strait – Exercise Arctic Chinook

The US Coast Guard issued a news release stating that Exercise Arctic Chinook is a multi-day maritime search and rescue exercise being conducted in the vicinity of the Bering Strait. Participants include the US Coast Guard, the Alaska Command, the Alaska National Guard, State of Alaska agencies, Alaska Native organizations, and Canadian Forces. The exercise simulates an adventure-class ship traveling through the Bering Strait with approximately 250 passengers and crew that experiences an incident that degrades to become a catastrophic event. The program will exercise elements of the Arctic Council's Search and Rescue Agreement. (8/23/16) [http://www.uscgnews.com/go/doc/4007/2877050/]. Fonte: Dennis Bryant.
