Water Safety
- Stay away from flooded or swollen rivers, and the coast in storm conditions
- Keep dogs on leads around water
- Keep children away from water and ice
- If somebody (or animal) is in trouble in the water never go in the water to rescue them yourself, Call 999 and ask for the fire and rescue service (if inland) and coastguard (if at the coast)
