Our Engagement

Scottish Government has been engaging with flood risk management stakeholders and communities over the last year to inform this Flood Resilience Strategy[9].

Output from our programme of engagement workshops and the public consultation[10] helped us structure the Strategy, including defining our guiding principles, setting the key themes of People, Places and Processes, and identifying our priority areas for action.
