Lihue, HAWAII - Kauai Mayor Bernard P. Carvalho Jr., front row center, sits next to Rear Adm. Charles W. Ray, right, and signs a memorandum of agreement at Kauai Fire Department Headquarters, April 23, 2012. Joining Ray and the mayor were representatives from Ocean Safety, Kauai County Fire Department, Joint Rescue Coordination Center Honolulu, and Sector Honolulu. The memorandum was signed in order to provide an instrument by which the local and federal responders can render timely notification and cooperative assistance to one another while conducting search and rescue missions. By doing so, responders can fully leverage each organization's unique assets, capabilities, and local knowledge while conducting SAR missions.
