Just generally, I think creating more spaces for the various actors involved in search and rescue in mass rescue operations and in maritime disasters needs to be improved. They need to have more space for people to talk, to engage and to plan on an ongoing basis. It gets back to this idea in emergency management that plans are useless but planning is everything. They need the chance to sit down, hash through plans, hash through roles and responsibilities, and really figure out how to do this. There's nothing more complex and nothing more challenging than a mass rescue operation in the Arctic. The more planning and the more relationships we can build in the lead-up to this, the better that will actually occur.
Part of the round tables we just held were tabletop exercises trying to figure out these different roles and responsibilities. I can say that there is room for improvement on that to make sure that everyone is crystal clear and on the same page with regard to who is responsible for what.
