The Scottish Government Resilience Room (SGoRR) is the emergency and crisis response co–ordination facility of the Scottish Government, activated in cases of national emergency or crisis, or during events abroad with major implications for Scotland. It is located in Edinburgh, Scotland's capital city, at St Andrew's House, the official headquarters of the Scottish Government. Prior to February 2008, it was called the Scottish Government Emergency Room, or "SEER", from the former name "Scottish Executive Emergency Room".
When the extent or complexity of an emergency requires a greater degree of central government co-ordination, the Scottish Government will formally launch and activate its emergency response arrangements through the Scottish Government Resilience Room. The precise role of the facility will alter depending on the precise nature and matter of the emergency.
