The final stage of a report into the Storm Arwen response has outlined the plans put in place to avoid a repeat this winter.
The region was left battered by the impact of the storm when it blew through Stirling almost a year ago - with hundreds of homes being left in the dark as power was knocked out for several days.
A survey from Stirling’s MSP commissioned a few months after the storm revealed that more than a quarter of the 100 local respondents were left in the dark for four days - and 32 per cent felt unprepared for a major weather event.
