To find out if there are flood warnings currently in place in your area, contact Floodline on 0845 988 1188, or alternatively visit the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) website.

SEPA are responsible for issuing warnings if flooding is forecast, and for issuing an all clear once the risk of flooding has passed.

Floodline operates 24 hours a day seven days a week and also provides help and advice on what do to in the event of a flood.

Preventative measures

It is advisable that you carry out preventative measures if a flood warning is issued.

Blocking doorways and air bricks could help keep water out of your property. If you don't have access to sandbags, have a look around your property and see what you can achieve with simple measures such as filling pillowcases with sand or soil to use as sandbags.

Your supply of sandbags should be stored in a cool dry area to maximise their lifespan.
