Response Analysis
| Since not all incidents can be prevented,
it is important to plan for emergency response and allocate
resources accordingly. One important measure is the travel
time to incidents. During a planning exercise, it is impossible
to predict the tides, winds and currents that would prevail
during response to an incident.
Because of this, an ideal
constant travel speed is assumed. This figure shows an example
of range rings in 1-hour intervals from each of several
Coast Guard Bases in the vicinity of Prince Edward Island.
