The 2018 National Flood Risk Assessment (NFRA) identifies those areas at the greatest risk of the impacts of flooding. The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) consulted with stakeholders and the public, from Tuesday 1 May to Tuesday 31 July 2018, to seek views on the Potentially Vulnerable Areas identified from the NFRA for flood risk management planning.

On Friday 21 September 2018, SEPA is submitting the following documents to Scottish Cabinet Secretary and Ministers: a digest of responses to the consultation and identification of Potentially Vulnerable Areas and Local Plan Districts.

A copy of the submission is available on the SEPA website at www.sepa.org.uk/library

This consultation has enabled us to make significant progress in establishing a flood risk management planning framework for Scotland and help us to develop a planned response to tackle flooding more effectively.
