Flood Risk Maps (SEPA)

The Scottish Environment Protection Agency’s maps show where flooding may happen across Scotland so that individuals and groups can take appropriate action.

The available maps -

help identify the most effective actions to manage flood risk and develop plans to tackle flooding,
support emergency response to flooding by local authorities and emergency responders,
support a more sustainable approach to managing flood risk by considering where natural flood management could be most effective, and
enable better planning decisions to avoid unnecessary development in flood risk areas.
