Extreme Weather and Safety at the Coast: Insights from RNLI and RMetS
LOCATION
Virtual - Hosted on Zoom
Join us for this free webinar, co-hosted with the RNLI, focused on extreme weather at the coast and how you can ensure your safety now and in the future.
Craig Snell, Senior Operational Meteorologist/Media Advisor at the Met Office, will highlight where you can access weather and marine information to ensure safety at the coast, and the conditions to look out for whether you’re going for a walk, having a swim, or paddleboarding.
Frankie Horne, experienced RNLI crewmember and Fishing Safety Manager, will then talk about his rescue experiences at the coast during extreme weather and the associated impacts on RNLI operations.
Seb Pitman, Lecturer in Physical Geography at Newcastle University, will discuss the concepts of physical hazard and human exposure to that hazard, exploring how a changing climate may redefine the way that both beachgoers and the RNLI interact with the coast.
Each talk will last approximately 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes for questions and discussion with the speaker.
The event is aimed at a general audience and open to all.

REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED.
