It was activated when the 60-foot fishing vessel MISS HAILEE, with 4 people on board, began taking on water. Coast Guard PACAREA received the alert and instructed Sector San Francisco to issue an Urgent Marine Information Broadcast (UMIB) and launch a helicopter and rescue boat from Bodega Bay. The tugboat COCHISE responded to the UMIB and found 3 people were in the water amid the vessel's debris. The helicopter crew located and hoisted the 3 people from the water and transported them to safety. A fourth crew member was not located and search efforts were suspended.
