What is Flo the Flood Bus?
Flo is a specially designed mobile exhibition vehicle that travels to Scotland’s flood-risk areas – including remote communities – providing accessible advice and resources on flood resilience.
Onboard Flo, you’ll find:
- Hands-on examples of PFR measures, including non-return valves, flood barriers, automatic airbricks, synthetic sandbags, resilient flooring, and flood-resistant kitchen cabinets.
- A cutaway showing the construction of a resilient wall to demonstrate how homes can be adapted.
- Low-cost maintenance tips, such as repointing brickwork and sealing gaps, to help keep buildings watertight.
- Video case studies showing how PFR measures have positively impacted flood victims.
- Animations and videos explaining interventions and preparing for flooding, including creating a household flood plan and signing up for flood warnings.
