Question
To ask the Scottish Government when the pages on the SEPA website regarding river levels will be fully instated, following the recent cyber attack.
Answer
Rainfall and river levels data are available to SEPA internally in support of their flood forecasting service but at the moment cannot be exported automatically to the web pages to share with the public as a result of the cyber-attack. SEPA recognises the importance of the river levels service and has prioritised work to restore the link between its network and website. The web pages are expected to be restored by 5 March.
