An essential water safety event is scheduled to take place in Hornsea, East Yorkshire, on Friday, April 10, and Sunday, April 12.

The RNLI will provide comprehensive instruction on water safety and survival strategies for individuals who find themselves in difficulty in the water. This free event, held at and around the Floral Hall, will run between 10:00 and 16:00 BST on both dates.
Emergency services, including personnel from the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, will be present. RSK Ordnance will explain how unexploded bombs discovered along the coastline are handled. Additionally, the British Divers Marine Life Rescue will demonstrate their procedures for dealing with injured or beached marine creatures. Footage illustrating coastal erosion along the Yorkshire coast will also be shown.
The NCI was established in 1994 to re-establish a visual watch along UK shores after the closure of HM Coastguard watch stations.
