We present Herschel/HIFI sub-mm atomic carbon ([Ci] 3P1 – 3P0 and [Ci] 3P2 – 3P1), ionized carbon ([Cii] 2P3/2 – 2P1/2), and ionized nitrogen ([Nii] 3P1 – 3P0) line observations obtained in the frame of the Herschel Guaranteed Time HEXGAL (Herschel EXtraGALactic) key program (P. I. Rolf Güsten, MPIfR), and NANTEN2/SMART carbon monoxide (CO(J = 4 – 3)) observations of the warm gas around the Sgr A region. The spectrally resolved emission from all lines, and the corresponding line intensity ratios, show a very complex morphology. The determination of spatial and spectral (anti)correlation with known sources in the Sgr A region such as the Arched Filaments, NTF filaments, the Sickle, Quintuplet cluster, CND clouds, is ongoing work.
