The sooner we can find you, the quicker we can help. Using @what3words to tell us your exact location could make all the difference. Signs have been installed around Stanborough Lakes so that when you call 999 you know exactly where you are. #UNDrowningPreventionDay
Fight your instinct to jump in and help. Stay on land and make the right call:
CALL 999 and ask for fire & rescue inland or coastguard at the coast
TELL them to float on their back
THROW them something that floats

I have been privileged to work on the Robbie Lea Water Safety Partnership since the tragic loss of Robbie in 2017. Today we share his mothers’ story. Please share her message to keep others safe: youtu.be/6sJu_0nkL-Y#worlddrowningpreventionday
Today on #UNDrowningPreventionDay we’ll be sharing some of the ways our teams work to keep you safe around Hertfordshire’s lakes, rivers, and canals.

1 day till world #DrowningPrevention Day.
As called for by @WHO on the 28th of April 2021 the world health organization publicly said we have a global issue where drowning is concerned. This year's campaign.. Do 1 thing to help prevent drownings 💙
Being drunk around rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water increases the likelihood that you might accidentally fall in or feel pressured to jump in, putting your life at risk #BeWaterAware
Day 6 of our Be Water Aware Campaign we want to ensure people enjoy the water in Hertfordshire in a safe and enjoyable way. Life saving equipment should never be tampered with, as you never know when it could save a life! #BeWaterAware#RespectTheWater@HFRS@NFCC_FireChiefs
