Today, several members of Skerries Coast Guard took part in a large scale flood rescue exercise at Malahide. This was organised by the Dublin Civil Defence. Our flank stations of Howth and Drogheda also took part in the training.

The exercise was based on the scenario of a mass evacuation required across the estuary. The Coast Guard teams provided support in the form of rescue boats, shore teams and the Coast Guard helicopter.
