Replying to @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.

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 orlo.uk/64ntj
