Welcome to the Emergency Management Team for the Fifth District Southern Region of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. Our area of responsibility spans three Coast Guard Sectors and encompasses North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. This site provides program information of team’s activities, mission objectives, and organizational layout. It provides a collection of resources and references for Flotilla, Division, and District level officers for incident and emergency management. When an emergency occurs, the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary stands prepared to assist the community and nation as a Ready, Relevant, and Responsive part of Team Coast Guard. We are Semper Paratus.

Identifying opportunities where Auxiliarists can augment or backfill active duty personnel is critical for contingency planning and for resource management.
Preparing, training, qualifying, and deploying Auxiliarists for Mass Rescue Operations brings the USCG another capability for major incidents.
