RNLI urges people in the North West including Formby to stay safe as Storm Brendan hits



The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) is urging people to stay safe as severe weather could make our seas and coastlines around the North West particularly dangerous.


Lifesaving charity, the RNLI, is encouraging people to exercise extreme caution if visiting the shoreline, especially along exposed cliffs, seafronts and piers.


The expected strong winds and severe gales pose a severe safety risk to those visiting the coast.


Named Storm Brendan by Met Eireann, it swept eastwards across Ireland before making its way through the rest of the UK this morning with yellow wind warning now in place for parts of the North West.


Chris Cousens, RNLI Regional Water Safety Lead for the North West said:


‘This rough weather could make visiting parts of the coastline in the North West treacherous and bring very dangerous sea conditions.


‘Sadly, around 150 people lose their lives on British and Irish coasts each year and over half of these people didn’t plan on ever entering the water. Slips, trips and falls can be a major factor in these kinds of incidents.’


If you see someone else in danger in the water, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard. If you have something that floats that they can hold on to, throw it to them. Don’t go in the water yourself – too many people drown trying to save others.


The charity, which provides a search and rescue service around the UK and Ireland, is facing its own Perfect Storm as demand for its services has increased but it is facing a shortfall in funds. This past year, the RNLI has been busier than ever, and stormy conditions can mean additional call outs for the already extremely busy volunteer crews. Whatever the weather, RNLI volunteers will still be on call to rescue those at difficulty at sea.
