WARNING. SEVERE flooding is expected in Aviemore/Dalfaber. Act now.
There is a danger to life. If you are in an affected area and are in danger and need assistance, call emergency responders. Due to persistent and heavy rainfall, river levels on the River Spey will rise throughout Monday night and into Tuesday morning causing serious flooding. Extensive flooding to properties and businesses is expected in and around Aviemore. This will include Dalfaber Road, The Old Bridge Inn, Speyside Leisure Park, the sewage treatment works, the railway line at Easter Kinakyle and the road and communities around Inverdruie and Kincraig. The River Spey is predicted to continue rising throughout the day on Tuesday and is likely to reach a similar level to the largest floods seen in recent years in the area. It is possible this flood could even be bigger, and we will update this message when more information becomes available. Take action now. Stay away from flood water and do not take unnecessary risks. Some evacuations have been advised. Please follow the advice of the emergency services and first responders on the ground. The Highland Council has set up an information point at Aviemore Highland Resort, Morlich Suite.
