Flood Alerts are still in force.

This is extreme uncharted territory, folks. Look at Farson's water camera on North Esk for last 18 hours. A lull in rainfall, but next band coming. Use Sepa Floodline, follow council & emergency service advice #StormBabet @PSOSAngus @AngusCouncil @metofficeScot #Flooding

Good to meet @Siobhianayr, Minister for Victims & Community Safety, at today’s #DrowningPreventionDay event.
Flooding creates drowning hazards, & @ScottishEPA works with @WaterSafetyScot & other #communitysafety partners to help people reduce their risk. #watersafety #flooding
Open until 4pm, lots of interest in getting NWS Neighbourhood Alerts, and a certain young sergeant was keen too!
We are proud to support World Drowning Prevention Day on 25th July. We will be attending the @WaterSafetyScot open day at Helix park in Falkirk from 11am - 3pm.
With collective effort, drowning is preventable.

Isolated heavy rain with possible thundery showers are possible across much of the country from Sunday morning. The location of these is very hard to predict so it is important you are prepared and remain vigilant.

Ukrainian dam breach flooding - could you spare two mins to consider sending help from some of us in Scotland? justgiving.com/page/scottish…
Imagine that happening over here. Thanks.

Anyone know of any dedicated relief teams/funds responding specifically to latest atrocity from Russian invasion of Ukraine, Kakhovka dam destruction & mass flooding? Want to see if I can contribute. Thanks. @ShelterBox @BritishRedCross @decappeal @RESCUEorg @React_Response
Sepa Floodline customers please be assured, the UK Emergency Alerts system does not replace SEPA Floodline service, which continues as usual.
It is an additional and important new element to the UK’s resilience framework. – at Dunblane, Scotland
A new Emergency Alert mobile phone warning service is being tested across the UK today at 3:00 pm.
You can help by sharing information about the test with friends and family who may not be aware.
Find out more: gov.uk/alerts
An important addition from 23rd April, but no service change for Floodline users in Scotland, with all regional flood alerts and local flood warnings continuing as usual.
SEPA welcomes the development of a UK emergency alert system as an important component of a national resilience framework.
The UK Emergency Alerts system will not cover flooding in Scotland at this stage and does not replace SEPA Floodline.
