The Scottish Government writes:<\/p>\n

This includes \u00a3300,000 to support the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) in its role as the national flood forecasting, flood warning and strategic flood risk management authority this year. It is also proposed to increase by a further \u00a3200,000 to \u00a31.6 million for 2019\/20.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Scottish Flood Forum\u2019 will receive \u00a333,000 in 2019\/20 to work with stakeholders to raise awareness of the importance of making flood resilient repairs and installing flood protection measures for property.<\/p>\n

And \u00a3180,00 has been made available to gather Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data, which surveys terrain and will provide robust data to improve assessment and management\u00a0 of flood risk.<\/p>\n

Speaking ahead of her appearance at Scotland\u2019s annual flood risk management conference in Glasgow, Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham said: \u2018Flooding can cause utter devastation to communities, as we saw in 2015. It\u2019s vital that we do everything we can to prepare for the worst, and this additional funding will improve our resilience against future flooding.\u00a0\u00a0 It will allow us to increase our understanding of when and where flooding is most likely to occur, and to support those communities affected.\u00a0 The Scottish Government is spending \u00a3420 million over ten years to protect homes and businesses in our most flood-prone areas \u2013 demonstrating our commitment to tackling this age-old problem. Ensuring our communities, society, economy and environment are protected from the impacts of climate change is a crucial step to delivering a greener, fairer and more prosperous country.\u2019<\/p>\n

LiDAR data will be available free of charge to stakeholders via the Scottish Remote Sensing Portal. This is in line with Scotland\u2019s Digital Strategy, where the Scottish Government is working with public sector bodies to invest in new collective data agreements.<\/p>\n
