☀️🚓 Hot Weather Safety Reminder 🚓☀️

As temperatures rise, we're encouraging everyone to take a few simple steps to stay safe and protect themselves, their families, and their homes.

🌊 Stay Safe Around Water Open water can be dangerous, even in warm weather. • Never enter the water alone • Be aware of hidden currents and cold water shock • Supervise children at all times near water • In an emergency at the coast, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard

🏠 Keep Your Home Secure Warmer weather often means windows and doors are left open, making homes more vulnerable to opportunist burglars. • Lock doors and windows when leaving your property • Don't leave valuables on display • Secure garden gates, sheds, and garages • Ask a trusted neighbour to keep an eye on your home if you're away

🌡️ Look After Yourself and Others Remember to stay hydrated, avoid spending long periods in direct sunlight, and check on elderly or vulnerable neighbours, friends, and family members during the hot weather.

By taking a few extra precautions, we can all enjoy the sunshine safely while helping to keep our communities safe.

Enjoy your weekend!
