Don't get caught in a flood
Flood water can result in damage to homes and property. It can be dangerous, and pose a threat to drivers and anyone else who finds themselves caught outdoors in a flood.
Being aware of where a flood is present, or where it’s likely to occur, will help you minimise the risk to you, your family and your property.

How we’re tackling flooding
We’ve commissioned research into the viability of four river flood protection schemes in vulnerable locations in the council area. These are in Aberfoyle, Bridge of Allan, Callander and Stirling. Three of these schemes have been nationally prioritised for flood risk reduction.
