If you've made it here you're probably already thinking about
what you could do with others to help your community
be better prepared for risks like flooding and severe weather.
There are lots of easy ways you can do this, either by
supporting some of the work already happening in your area, or by
looking to establish something new.
This isn't about doing the job of the emergency services. It's
about supporting your community and those in it by making sensible
preparations and using the skills and knowledge that the community
has.
Help and support is available. A good starting point is the
Scottish Government's Guide to Emergency
Planning for Community Groups, which suggests a range
of things that you and others in your area could do.
Lots of people are preparing already. These case
studies show what others have achieved and how.
Find out more about some of the voluntary organisations that play a
key role in building Scotland's resilience, and let us know what you have planned in your
area.
