Highland Flood Liaison and Advisory Group (FLAG) was set up in November 2002 and is an informal and advisory group tasked with promoting sustainable flood management for the whole of the Highland Council administrative area.
Highland FLAG is convened by the Council and meets on an occassional basis. A variety of people, from several different organisations, attend the group. These include planners, emergency planners and engineers from Highland Council, representatives from SEPA, SNH and Scottish Water and also an insurance representative.
The FLAG has been set up in order to obtain information on flood risk areas to be used in such things as formulating planning policies and advising on planning applications and land allocations. The group will also contribute to a range of other work including Catchment Management Planning, Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems and other Building Control Matters.
