Today in Peebles, we launched our Flood Resilience Campaign, giving community representatives the chance to see first-hand how data from our river monitoring network helps support flood forecasting and warning services across Scotland. As we head into winter, we're encouraging everyone to prepare and be aware of flooding by taking these simple steps: • Check the Scottish Flood Forecast for a three-day outlook on where flooding may occur • Sign up to Floodline to receive free flood alerts and warnings • Follow us on social media Find out more at: sepa.org.uk/flooding
