Sniffer runs workshops throughout the year on aspects of Flood Risk Management.

We are delighted to be able to offer a series of lunch and learn sessions for the FRM community to provide updates on the latest policy, modelling, and scientific news. You can access the recordings and presentations for these below:

National Pluvial Flood Hazard Map update, 18th May 2022

Webinar with David Fadipe from SEPA and Iain Craigen from JBA Consulting. SEPA have partnered with JBA Consulting to develop new pluvial flood maps for Scotland to take account of the science and data changes that have occurred since publicly available surface water flood maps were first published in December 2013. This session covers the development process for the new pluvial flood maps, key methodology changes, and the delivery programme for this challenging project.
