The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) are consulting on a review of Potentially Vulnerable Areas (PVAs) to protect communities from future impacts of flooding, as the number of homes, businesses and services at risk across Scotland is projected to increase by around 40% by the 2080s due to climate change.

A total of 720 messages have been sent since 1st September 2023, the highest number since SEPA introduced its Floodline service in March 2011.

Some disruption due to flooding is possible over the next three days.

SEPA have issued regional Flood Alerts and local Flood Warnings as Storm Kathleen brings very high winds to coastal areas of Scotland over the weekend.
