@SussexIncidents @SussexTW @Leesdalton Please support the safety of operational crews by avoiding driving through flood water. Flood water contains a number of biological hazards that rescue teams are exposed to along with the risks of moving vehicles which can be avoided by not driving into flood water.

Would two followers please copy and re-post this tweet? I'm trying to demonstrate that someone is always there, especially at this time of year. Call 0800 689 5652 (National Suicide Prevention Helpline UK). Just two. Any two. Copy, not retweet. Let’s all look out for each other

It's cold & we're inside more with the heating on & windows closed! Please ensure you have a working Carbon Monoxide alarm! It's a silent killer. You can't see, taste or smell it, the only way to be alerted is with an audible alarm. @ProjectShoutCo https://t.co/461K7RSxsE
