Anyone can be affected, whether through:

• disruption to travel when rivers burst their banks;
• direct flooding from localised flood water;
• coastal flooding;
• or even flooding caused by overflowing drains.

Responsibility for flooding issues in the North East is shared between a number of different organisations. These bodies come together in the North East Scotland Flood Liaison and Advice Group (NESFLAG):

• to share information and experience from a wide range of disciplines
• to share knowledge and understanding of flooding issues
• to ensure a coordinated approach to the prevention of flooding.
