Coast Guard Conducts Hurricane Damage Overflights

MH-60 Jayhawk Helicopter And MH-65 Dolphin Helicopter Aircrews Conducted Overflights Near Lake Charles

The Coast Guard has been conducting critical incident search and rescue overflights since the weekend along the Western Gulf Coast Region for Hurricane Delta post-storm operations. Hurricane Delta, one of a number of unexpected storms this year, turned out to be a fairly damging system.

A Coast Guard Aviation Training Center Mobile HC-144 Ocean Sentry aircrew conducted overflights near Lake Charles to assess damage and identify hazards. At one point, Rear Adm. John Nadeau, commander Coast Guard 8th District, was aboard an HC-144 Ocean Sentry airplane to conduct assessment operations of areas that may have been damaged by Hurricane Delta.

Coast Guard MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter and MH-65 Dolphin helicopter aircrews conducted overflights near Lake Charles and other impacted areas. The aircrews were conducting search and rescue overflights to check for anyone in distress.

As of 1300 Saturday, there were no reports of Coast Guard post-storm emergency distress calls, or search and rescue incidents.
