Volunteers from the RNLI’s Flood Rescue Team (FRT) evacuated people from their flooded homes in St Asaph, North Wales at the end of November. Crew members from lifeboat stations at Beaumaris, Conwy, Moelfre and Rhyl joined forces with RNLI staff to ferry people safely from their homes to dry ground. The team members – who all give their time to the FRT voluntarily – are specially trained in swift water rescue. Sponsored by Toolstation, the FRT is available at 24 hours notice to deploy anywhere in the world where waterborne search and rescue is needed due to natural disaster.
