The Scottish Government Resilience Room (SGoRR; prior to February 2008 called the Scottish Government Emergency Room or SEER, from the former name Scottish Executive Emergency Room) is a coordination facility of the Scottish Government that is activated in cases of national emergency or crisis, or during events abroad with major implications for the United Kingdom.
A meeting in SEER was held on the 1 July 2007 due to the terrorist attack on Glasgow Airport.[1]
It is the Scottish equivalent of the United States' Situation Room in Washington, D.C. and the United Kingdom's Cabinet Office Briefing Rooms in Whitehall.

- First Minister of Scotland

- Cabinet Secretary for Justice
- Cabinet Secretary for Finance
- Cabinet Secretary for Health and Sport
- Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs and the Environment
