These factsheets were commissioned to meet a requirement for Scotland-specific information on the types, scale, duration and impact of a range of natural hazards.

They contain basic guidance on actions that can be taken to mitigate the impacts of flooding, strong winds and landslides.

They include information previously produced by the Natural Hazards Partnership, adapted to a Scottish context and with the addition of case studies.

This project was led by the Met Office, with input from the British Geological Survey (BGS) and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA)
