Minister for Flooding Aileen McLeod said:
“My first thoughts are with all of those whose homes and businesses have been affected by the serious flooding that we have seen. SEPA, Transport Scotland, local authorities and the emergency services are working together to help local communities and businesses respond to this disruption and damage and the Scottish Government is closely engaged and ready to further support this work if required.
“I would encourage everyone to monitor SEPA’s Floodline website for the latest flood information and to sign up to receive Floodline warnings and alerts direct to their phone.”
More information is available from SEPA, the Floodline direct warning service is available on 0345 988 1188 and the Floodline site http://floodline.sepa.org.uk/floodupdates/
