The meeting, chaired by Justice Secretary Angela Constance, heard parts of Scotland are still in the midst of dealing with the severe flooding caused by Storm Babet while some rivers remain at hazardous levels. “While the red warning has now passed, rain does continue to fall and I urge people in areas with amber and yellow weather warnings to continue to follow advice from emergency services and local authorities. “Over the coming days and weeks, we will stay in close contact with local authorities to support the people and businesses affected.” Assistant Chief Constable of Police Scotland Stuart Houston said: “We are seeing an improving weather picture, but conditions remain extremely challenging, particularly in the worst affected areas in Tayside.
