Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on its plans to publish a review of the response to Storm Arwen.
Answer
I can confirm that we have published our report this morning, and the review report is available at www.gov.scot/publications/storm-arwen-review .
The review is the result of a wide range of local debriefs which took place in the aftermath of Storm Arwen. The Scottish Government has used this information, from those involved at the frontline of the response, to develop a range of recommendations which we hope will support the evolution of our resilience planning. I would like to express my thanks to those who participated in this process, during what has been a time of considerable pressure across the sector.
