Social Media

 

First of all we apologise for the lack of blogs but this week has been very busy for us , but also for  most Coastguard teams in Dorset. 

We have noticed this week that reports of items washed up, concerns about people and possible incidents are being reported on social media but not via 999.    

Social media is not monitored routinely via the emergency services. 

If you find something or want to report something its really important that 999 is used - someone’s life could depend on it. 

Social media can be useful for appeals but don’t delay , make the call 999 Coastguard.
