It's vital to collaborate to adapt to climate change. This week, SEPA and @metoffice have jointly invited partners and experts to share experiences, insights and tools at the Scottish Flood Forecasting Symposium to learn more about what our communities need from our forecasting and warning services and how we can build future capabilities.

Here at SEPA, through our flood risk management services, we aim to avoid, protect and warn. We play a lead role in preparing Scotland for a changing climate.
