🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Rydym yn hynod ddiolchgar i UK RIGGING am eu rhodd a’u cefnogaeth i gryfhau ein gallu achub ar lethrau. Roedd yn bleser cael cwrdd â’u tîm a thrafod cynnydd Môn SAR gyda nhw.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🚨 Join the Team Behind the Team 🚨

Môn Search and Rescue relies entirely on public donations to keep our volunteers trained, equipped and ready to respond when needed.

We’re looking for volunteers to help with fundraising activities, including supermarket collections, community events and information stands across Anglesey and North Wales.

You don’t need previous experience, just a friendly attitude and a willingness to support an important local cause. Even a few hours of your time can make a real difference.

Interested in helping us raise vital funds and awareness? Drop us a message or visit our website. We look forward to hearing from you.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🚨 Ymunwch â’r Tîm Tu Ôl i’r Tîm 🚨

Mae Tîm Chwilio Ac Achub Môn yn dibynnu’n llwyr ar roddion y cyhoedd i sicrhau bod ein gwirfoddolwyr wedi’u hyfforddi, wedi’u cyfarparu ac yn barod i ymateb pan fo angen.

Rydym yn chwilio am wirfoddolwyr i helpu gyda gweithgareddau codi a***n, gan gynnwys casgliadau mewn archfarchnadoedd, digwyddiadau cymunedol a stondinau gwybodaeth ledled Ynys Môn a Gogledd Cymru.

Nid oes angen profiad blaenorol arnoch, dim ond agwedd gyfeillgar a pharodrwydd i gefnogi achos lleol pwysig. Gall hyd yn oed ychydig oriau o’ch amser wneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol.

A oes ganddoch chi ddiddordeb o helpu’r tîm godi a***n hanfodol ac ymwybyddiaeth o’n gwaith? Anfonwch neges atom neu ewch i’n gwefan. Edrychwn ymlaen at glywed gennych chi.

Today is ⛑️ Mountain Rescue Awareness Day ⛑️

The volunteers who make up our search and rescue teams are united by a shared willingness to be on call 24/7, whatever the weather, to help those in need. They give up work, family, and personal time to ensure that anyone in distress has a team focused on bringing them safely home.

We’re proud to be part of NWMRA and grateful for the opportunities we’ve had to train alongside our neighbouring mountain rescue teams.

These volunteers live and work in your communities. They have families and friends just like yours, and they train tirelessly to give something back. They are all motivated by a desire to help others and are deeply committed to their role. Sometimes, that commitment means putting themselves at risk to save someone else.

Demand on search and rescue teams is increasing. We can all help protect our volunteers by reducing preventable call-outs:
🛟 Plan your outing. Think: weather, route, and kit.�🛟 Keep away from cliff edges and open water unless you are properly equipped and experienced.�🛟 Know your limits. There is always another day.�🛟 Share your plans with someone before you go.

Search and rescue teams are always on call when you need help.

📞 999 → Police → Search and Rescue ⛑️

If you call for help and later find that you no longer need assistance, please call back and let us know.
✅ You could save our volunteers an unnecessary journey.�✅ You could free up resources for someone else in genuine need.



⛑️ Heddiw yw Diwrnod Ymwybyddiaeth Achub Mynydd ⛑️�
Mae’r gwirfoddolwyr sy’n ffurfio ein timau chwilio ac achub yn unedig gan barodrwydd i fod ar alwad 24/7, beth bynnag fo’r tywydd, i helpu’r rhai sydd mewn angen. Maent yn rhoi eu hamser gwaith, teuluol a phersonol o’r neilltu i sicrhau bod unrhyw un sydd mewn trafferth yn cael tîm sy’n canolbwyntio ar ddod â nhw adref yn ddiogel.

Rydym yn falch o fod yn rhan o NWMRA ac yn ddiolchgar am y cyfleoedd rydym wedi’u cael i hyfforddi ochr yn ochr â’n timau achub mynydd cyfagos.

Mae’r gwirfoddolwyr hyn yn byw ac yn gweithio yn eich cymunedau. Mae ganddynt deuluoedd a ffrindiau yn union fel chi, ac maent yn hyfforddi’n ddiflino er mwyn rhoi rhywbeth yn ôl. Maent oll yn cael eu hysgogi gan yr awydd i helpu eraill ac yn gwbl ymroddedig i’w rôl. Weithiau, mae’r ymrwymiad hwnnw’n golygu rhoi eu hunain mewn perygl i achub rhywun arall.

Mae’r galw ar dimau chwilio ac achub yn cynyddu. Gallwn ni i gyd helpu i ddiogelu ein gwirfoddolwyr drwy leihau galwadau diangen y gellir eu hatal:
🛟 Cynlluniwch eich taith. Meddyliwch am y tywydd, y llwybr a’ch offer.�🛟 Cadwch draw oddi wrth ymylon clogwyni a dyfroedd agored oni bai eich bod wedi’ch paratoi’n briodol ac yn meddu ar y profiad perthnasol.�🛟 Gwybyddwch eich terfynau. Bydd diwrnod arall bob amser.�🛟 Rhannwch eich cynlluniau gyda rhywun cyn i chi fynd.

Mae timau chwilio ac achub bob amser ar alwad pan fydd angen help arnoch.
📞 999 → Heddlu → Chwilio ac Achub ⛑️

Os byddwch yn galw am help ac yn ddiweddarach yn sylweddoli nad oes angen cymorth arnoch mwyach, ffoniwch eto a rhowch wybod i ni.
✅ Gallech arbed taith ddiangen i’n gwirfoddolwyr.�✅ Gallech ryddhau adnoddau i helpu rhywun arall sydd wir angen cymorth.

🌧️ FLOOD ACTION WEEK | Wythnos Gweithredu Llifogydd 🌧️

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Today is the start of flood action week, drawing attention to flood risks and how you can prepare for them. Flooding can develop rapidly, and in previously unaffected areas - don’t get caught out!

Natural Resources Wales provides detailed flood preparedness information. In short…

💧 Keep informed about the flood risk in your area.
💧 Sign up for flood warnings
💧 Write a flood plan for your household - consider people, pets, and essential items.
💧 Pack a flood kit including medication, clean drinking water, and key phone numbers.

Do not take unnecessary risks. 30cm of flood water can be enough to move a car - even shallower water could knock you off your feet.

In an emergency, always call 999 ☎️

…
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Heddiw yw dechrau Wythnos Gweithredu Llifogydd, gan dynnu sylw at y peryglon llifogydd a sut gallwch baratoi ar eu cyfer. Gall llifogydd ddatblygu’n sydyn, ac mewn ardaloedd nad ydynt wedi’u heffeithio o’r blaen — peidiwch â chael eich dal allan!

Mae yn darparu gwybodaeth fanwl ar baratoi ar gyfer llifogydd. Yn gryno…

💧 Cadwch yn wybodus am y perygl llifogydd yn eich ardal
💧 Cofrestrwch ar gyfer rhybuddion llifogydd
💧 Ysgrifennwch gynllun llifogydd ar gyfer eich aelwyd — ystyriwch bobl, anifeiliaid anwes, a phethau hanfodol
💧 Pecynwch becyn llifogydd sy’n cynnwys meddyginiaeth, dŵr yfed glân, a rhifau ffôn allweddol

Peidiwch â chymryd risgiau di‑angen. Gall 30cm o ddŵr llifogydd fod yn ddigon i symud car — gall dŵr llawer basach eich taro oddi ar eich traed.

Mewn argyfwng, ffoniwch 999 ☎️
