The #RNLI is hosting a free webinar on #WorldDrowningPreventionDay on how to stay safe around the coast & on inland waterways. It is ideal for anyone who spends time on or near water. Empower yourself with the knowledge that could help save a life. Register here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/rnli-water...

Some very important advice from the #RNLI as people take to the coast during the hot weather spell. Extreme caution should also be exercised in rivers and lakes, which can be very cold and dangerous. Always have a plan, tell someone where you are going and have a means of calling for help.

Some lovely cirrostratus clouds in Mayo this evening. A lovely one for a decent run along the Greenway, although I may have pushed my heart rate just a little . . . !

Pope Francis' visit to Ireland, and specifically to #KnockShrine via @irelandwestairport.bsky.social in 2018, was a huge logistical undertaking with a massive amount of planning and preparation at so many different levels. It was very memorable for all those involved. #RIPPopeFrancis #CivilDefence

Major Emergency Planning is just one of the many & varied things that we train for on a regular basis & working alongside other professional teams (voluntary or otherwise) is a huge part of that.
