When you fall into water below 15C, the body's automatic response is to gasp for air because of cold water shock. This increases your chance of inhaling water. Instead, you need to relax and #FloatToLive for around 90 seconds to minimise this risk. #30days30waysUK
If you find yourself in the water #FloatToLive
If you see someone else in difficulty call 999 and ask for the coastguard.
NEVER ENTER THE WATER, use a buoy or throw line if you know how to do so safely. Leave water rescue to the professionals. #30days30waysUK

The police service + partners work hard to keep us safe. Incidents are rare yet it pays to know how to act. #RunHideTell + ACT #ActionCountersTerrorism are national campaigns for #safety#security and #preparedness. Today we share their resources for community resilience.
