I'm not sure. His best bet, given all the bands that radio can use, is to try to find one that the jammer doesn't cover. The question will be if the Coast Guard are doing the same. I'd expect this to be part of the radio procedure within an organisation, but I don't know if there's a shared procedure across US federal agencies. Getting further from the jammer is a fallback if it covers all the bands he can use, but has obvious tactical problems.
