The Coast Guard is working with the Victoria Joint Rescue Coordination Center. The Coast Guard is standing by to provide further assistance to the Canadians if requested.

The Coast Guard quickly responded to the report of the missing woman, conducting multiple searches on and above the waters south of Ketchikan covering more than 800 miles in two days
