Flooding is a growing challenge for Scotland, with climate change increasing the risk of severe weather and flooding.
We’re developing Scotland’s next Flood Risk Management Plans (2028–2034) and we want to hear from you.
Have your say by 21 April 2026.

As it's raining a lot #floods may well happen. You don't need to live near a river to flood.
Would you know how to prepare if one came your way?
This short film has lots of practical tips.

Prepare and be aware. Flooding can affect you.
When flooding hit Edzell in 2012, the community suffered £1 million in damage and 44 homes were impacted. But they didn’t wait for it to happen again - they took action.
By forming a Community Flood Group, working with SEPA and the Scottish Flood Forum, and using tools like the Scottish Flood Forecast and Floodline alerts, Edzell became stronger and more resilient.
