A new action plan has been drawn up to safeguard the Tayside area from future flooding.
Perth and Kinross Council was tasked with producing the strategy as part a Scotland-wide approach to flood risk management.
Local authority officers looked at areas where improvements and extra defences were needed over the next six years.
SEPA has been working on the project with 14 districts across the country. Perth and Kinross is the lead authority for the Tay catchment zone.
The council has highlighted 17 “potentially vulnerable areas” including Blair Atholl, Perth centre and Pitlochry which were all hit by major flooding problems at the start of the year.
The Flood Risk Management report highlights the costs of flooding for individual areas. For example, the plan states that in Alyth – which saw widespread devastation during torrential downpours last summer – there are 70 properties at risk of flooding. The annual average cost of repairing damage in the town is £160,000.
Meanwhile, Bridge of Earn – which was hit by more flooding last month – costs an estimated £410,000 a year for restoration work.
Last week, Perth and Kinross councillors set their capital budget which included £20 million of flood protection at Comrie, Milnathort, Kinross and Scone.
A council spokesman said: “Many people aren’t aware that their homes or businesses could be at risk from flooding.
“Through the publication of the strategies and plans, residents and businesses will be able to learn more about flood risk and its impact on the local area and the actions that will be taken to manage the risk of flooding.”
