| We all have a responsibility to manage the risk of flooding and to protect ourselves, our families, property and business. There are many actions we can take to minimise the flood damage to our land and property. SEPA's Floodline service can give you advanced warnings of flooding and give you more information on how to be prepared.
Public bodies also have a responsibility to do what they can to reduce the overall impacts of floods and ensure that, where possible, the risks are minimised. For more information on what to do and who can help please click here.  (1.28Mb)
