It comes after the Scottish Government’s Resilience Room met to discuss the “exceptional” levels of rain that had fallen in parts of Scotland during the weekend.
Weather warnings associated with Storm Babet have expired but people in the worst-hit areas of Scotland face a lengthy clean-up after substantial downpours led to widespread flooding.
The meeting, chaired by Justice Secretary Angela Constance, heard parts of Scotland were still in the midst of dealing with the severe flooding caused by Storm Babet while some rivers remain at hazardous levels. The storm has claimed two lives in Scotland and searches continue for a man reported missing to police on Friday who is said to have been trapped in a vehicle in floodwater in Marykirk, Aberdeenshire.
Coastguard helicopters were called upon to move 45 non-essential workers from the Stena Spey to neighbouring platforms and to Sumburgh on the Shetland Islands due to the incident.Rest centres were set up in Angus with more than 50 people opting to stay in one in Brechin after they were evacuated from their homes as the River South Esk breached the town’s flood defences early on Friday morning.
“Tragically, the storm has led to lives being lost and I send my sincere condolences to the families affected.
