🌬️ West Coast Weather Warning 🌊

Followers, please take extra care in today’s severe winds across the west of Scotland.

⚠️ If you spot anything dangerous, call 999 immediately. But remember:

📸 That perfect photo,
⚓ Securing a boat,
🏃‍♂️ Chasing adrenaline…

None of these are worth your life.

Our Dunoon Coastguard Rescue Team volunteers are on call 24/7 - even in weather like this.

🚨 In a coastal, cliff or beach emergency: Dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard.

Stay safe.

Today is Emergency Services Day, a special opportunity to honour all those who work tirelessly to care for us and protect our safety.

As one of the UK’s emergency services, HM Coastguard stands ready round the clock to help anyone in difficulty at sea or on the coast.

While our staff in operations rooms answer 999 calls and coordinate the response to a variety of incidents, we have our helicopter crews in the sky and our coastguard rescue officers on the ground, rescuing people and saving lives.

We are grateful for everyone in the emergency services and can never thank you enough for your service 💙
