A couple who went for an autumn walk on the famous Jurassic Coast in Dorset became trapped by the cliffs as darkness began to fall. Thanks to an emergency 999 call, they were rescued by HM Coastguard and the @RNLI's inshore lifeboat. Full story ⬇️ hmcoastguard.uk/news/999-call-…

Ever wondered how the Coastguard saved lives without the high tech equipment we have today?  #HistoryofHMCoastguard #History #HMCoastguard

HM Coastguard’s ability to protect Britain’s coastline is owed to the courage and bravery of those who fought to secure our freedom. What vital role did HM Coastguard play during the world wars? Images sourced from the Imperial War Museum online image library.

Coastguards have been battling raging rapids in a special flood rescue exercise, a joint operation between @HMCoastguard and fellow emergency services and public agencies to enhance cooperation and skills when responding to rising waters.  hmcoastguard.uk/news/flood-exe…

A small yacht which was caught in the swell after sailing off course ran aground earlier this week on Polzeath Beach in Cornwall. When sailing out on the water, please ensure you pilot your boat at an appropriate speed in consideration of the environment and the sea conditions.

Did you know that HM Coastguard first emerged not as a service committed to saving lives but instead to combat smuggling?  Learn about the rescue service's past in our new series which explores the history of HM Coastguard.  #HistoryofHMCoastguard #History #HMCoastguard

Have you ever been trapped by the mud? Mud and quicksand can be incredibly dangerous as once you’re stuck, it’s extremely difficult to get out. If you do get trapped, sit back to spread your weight evenly across the surface, then call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
