New @SnifferScotland CEO, Jo Kerr, introduces us to the annual Sniffer (soon to be Verture) flood resilience conference at @ourdynamicearth, Edinburgh. #FR2025 #FloodResilience2025 #FloodResilience #HydrologicalExtremes

Today is International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction. In September, we launched the Satellite Emergency Mapping Service, which provides real-time data, helping us to quickly respond to floods, wildfires, landslides, and oil spills. Read more at beta.sepa.scot/news/2024/sepa…

It's vital to collaborate to adapt to climate change. This week, SEPA and @metoffice have jointly invited partners and experts to share experiences, insights and tools at the Scottish Flood Forecasting Symposium to learn more about what our communities need from our forecasting and warning services and how we can build future capabilities. Here at SEPA, through our flood risk management services, we aim to avoid, protect and warn. We play a lead role in preparing Scotland for a changing climate.

@GinsideStorry @gin_a_ding_ding Might I suggest an alternative line to try? I'm a Brand Ambassador for @PentlandGin, who do a great line of sustainably minded gins, all from a husband and wife team based at the farm in South Lanarkshire. #Refill #Sustainability #scottishgin

@gin_a_ding_ding After the BBC documentary, I won't touch brew dog products despite their gunpowder gin being one of my favourites. Staff need to be treated fairly & with dignity rather than the sham that James & his buddies portray at staff welfare

I’ve been boycotting BrewDog since June 2021 when Punks with Purpose published their open letter levelling accusations against the firm's business practices and the treatment of its employees. punkswithpurpose.org/dearbrewdog/
