RESPONSIBILITIES FOR MANAGING FLOOD RISK IN SCOTLAND Background to the current institutional arrangements for flooding in Scotland The Scottish Government The Scottish Government has overall responsibility for policy on flood management in Scotland. The Scottish Government’s Scottish Flood Defence Asset Database provides a register of fluvial and coastal defences constructed in Scotland under the Flood Prevention (Scotland) Act 1961. There are 72 such schemes providing a total of 61km of defences which protect some 4,580 properties. The total number of properties which were at risk of flooding in Scotland was last considered in 2002. We then understood that the figure was 171,000 – 94,000 at risk on the coast and 77,000 at risk from rivers. The recently published SEPA indicative flood map and our assessment of what properties are protected by flood prevention schemes built since 1961, allowed us to reach a more informed estimate of 99,000 properties at high to medium risk ( greater than 0.5% annual probability) – 26,000 at risk from the sea and 73,000 at risk from rivers. This revised estimate gives a better understanding of the scale of risk to Scottish property and households, which we need to work together to reduce. Around 5% of the land area of Scotland is at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea and within this area 3.9% of all Scottish properties – residential and business – are at risk. The Scottish Government’s move to a more strategic view of how we respond to flood risk will be strengthened by this clarity of focus. Such clarity is of utmost importance as the government embarks on reform of flooding legislation and pursues sustainable flood management. In Scotland, the primary responsibility for protecting land from flooding lies with the owner of the land concerned. The Water Environment and Water Services (Scotland) Act 2003 (WEWS) placed a duty on the Scottish Government, SEPA, local authorities, Scottish Water and other responsible authorit
