The Operations Room is manned 24 hours a day, and deals with SAR incidents in the District by means of the VHF radio and telephone networks.

A District Management Team is responsible for the operational and administrative running of the Coastguard side of the District under the guidance of the Coastal Safety Manager and the Rescue Co-ordination Centre Manager.
