Features include:
• 16 flood protection studies
• Nine Surface Water Management Plans
• Two Natural Flood Management Studies
Other additional actions involve raising awareness, community flood action groups, self-help, maintenance of existing schemes, inclusion within Planning policy and within emergency plans and responding to incidents.
Cllr Pat Callaghan said: "Individuals are the first line of defence when it comes to protecting themselves and their properties from flooding. These plans identify areas in Fife with a flood risk and how the risk can be reduced by working with other agencies, and interested communities in Fife."
