Transportation

Summary

The U.S. Coast Guard is renaming its regional districts, which are the geographic areas it divides the country into for managing operations like rescues, patrols, and emergency response. While this is primarily an administrative change, it may affect how people contact or interact with their local Coast Guard office.

  • 3This change may require updates to websites, office signage, and contact information for Coast Guard offices
  • 4The renaming does not change the actual services the Coast Guard provides, such as emergency rescue, maritime law enforcement, or coastal security
  • 5Members of the public should update any bookmarked contact information or references to Coast Guard districts they may have
