Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on the status of the communities that are due to be listed as potentially vulnerable areas.
Answer
Members should be aware this question is about flood management . Scottish Ministers approved the revised set of Potentially Vulnerable Areas submitted by SEPA in September 2018 and these were published on SEPA's website on 22 December 2018.
Working closely with partners, SEPA will draft Flood Risk Management Strategies for the period 2022-2027. These strategies will identify objectives and actions to help protect communities in potentially vulnerable areas, and they will be published following a full public consultation.
