Protect Your Digital Footprint

Every time you use visit a website, send or receive a message or email, buy or book anything online, comment on a post, upload a photo or find directions on your phone, you’re adding to your digital footprint.  

The internet provides many positive experiences, but we could probably all benefit from thinking more about the trail we leave online. 

Your digital footprint is part of your online history and can potentially be seen by other people, or tracked and held in multiple databases, however careful you are with your privacy settings.

This month the Get Safe Online campaign considers what might happen as a result of your digital footprint, and provides tips and advice on what you can do to protect your digital trail. Please visit the following link for further information:

National Hoarding Awareness Week

   

National Hoarding Awareness WeekAt Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service, we are dedicated to ensuring the safety and well-being of our community. That’s why we are joining forces with the National Hoarding Awareness Week campaign, taking place from 16th May to 22nd May, to shed light on the dangers of hoarding disorder. We want to emphasize the serious impact hoarding can have on individuals, families, and communities, particularly in terms of fire hazards.

Did you know that approximately 5% of the UK population is affected by hoarding disorder? Hoarding not only poses health risks but also significantly increases the chances of a devastating fire. The accumulation of combustible materials, like paper and cardboard, creates a highly flammable environment that can fuel a fire, spreading rapidly and putting lives at risk. Additionally, blocked exits make it difficult for individuals to escape in emergencies, further amplifying the danger.

Preventing hoarding-related fires requires a collaborative effort from individuals, families, and communities. National Hoarding Awareness Week provides an excellent opportunity to learn more about hoarding disorder and the associated risks. By raising awareness and taking proactive steps, we can help prevent hoarding-related fires and ensure the safety of ourselves and our communities.

Here are some practical steps you can take to reduce the risk of fire:

·  Recognize the signs: Look out for signs such as cluttered living spaces, blocked exits, and disorganization.

·  Seek professional help: Hoarding disorder is a mental health condition that requires professional help. Encourage the person to seek help from a qualified mental health professional.

·  Declutter regularly: Regular decluttering can help prevent the accumulation of excess items, reducing the risk of a fire.

·  Educate yourself: Learn more about hoarding disorder and the fire risks associated with it. The more you know, the better equipped you will be to prevent fires.

If you are concerned about a loved one’s hoarding behavior, we urge you to complete the form on our LFRS home fire safety check page. Our team of experts will provide personalized fire safety advice. In certain cases, if you meet specific criteria, they will even visit the property in person to assess how improvements can be made.

 

Remember, help is also available from your GP, the NHS website, and Mind. These resources can provide further information and support for dealing with hoarding disorder.
