Exceptionally heavy rain has fallen across north-west, northern and central Tasmania over the past 24-36 hours, with flood peaks at some locations possibly reaching levels experienced in June 2016.
SES Acting Director Leon Smith said that 緊急事態発生 – 避難準備 are in place for Redwater Creek covering Railton and surrounds as well as Mersey River covering Liena to Latrobe township.
避難所は以下の場所に開設されています。
- Railton Green Hall – 52 Crocker Street, Railton
- Latrobe Memorial Hall – 170 Gilbert Street, Latrobe
- Ulverstone Recreation Centre – 2 Flora St, Ulverstone
- Deloraine Community Centre – 2-8 Alverston Dr, Deloraine
“The Tasmania Emergency Information Service has also been established to provide flood-affected communities with general information throughout this weather event. People can call 6145 5303 for the cost of a local call.
For flood and storm assistance call 132 500 and for life threatening emergencies call Triple Zero.”
Emergency services are well prepared, with a State Operations Centre and two Regional Operations Centres stood up to monitor, prepare and respond to the weather event.
気象局（BoM）は、金曜日の早朝まで州北部および北西部で影響が続き、来週まで河川の増水が続くと予想される、大規模な降雨イベントであると勧告しました。.
The State Emergency Service has so far attended 27 statewide incidents (1 in the south, 12 in the north and 14 in the north west) with 120 calls received by the SES number 132 500. People are encouraged to be aware of the preparation resources available on the SES website.
Mr Smith said that SES crews are working to assist residents with affected communities.
“SES is being supported by TFS and is working closely with other agencies including the Bureau of Meteorology, Tasmania Police and Municipal Councils.
The Bureau has a current Severe Weather Warning in place which forecasts heavy rainfall which may lead to flash flooding for north and north west Tasmania today. Locally intense rainfall which may lead to dangerous and life-threatening flash flooding is also likely over inland parts of northwest Tasmania during this period particularly about the Western Tiers.
“It’s important that people listen to the warnings and take action to keep themselves safe.”
“Remember that Tasmania Police has advised that if you are in the affected area, you should reconsider non-essential travel. This is important to minimise traffic on the roads and for the safety of motorists.”
Trees are likely to come down as a result of the forecast for damaging winds, adding to the treacherous conditions.
“Everyone needs to be aware of the forecast and the current weather conditions and make final preparations to their property if it is safe to do so. It’s possible that properties in some areas of north and north western Tasmania may become isolated during the weather event.”
“You need to review your household emergency kit and flood emergency plan, including evacuation triggers, and move livestock to higher ground.
“If predicted rainfall patterns reach forecast levels, townships across northern Tasmania will be impacted such as Railton, Latrobe, Wivenhoe, Burnie, and Sheffield will be impacted,” said Acting Director Smith.
“This is a dynamic situation of significance that we are monitoring, but inevitably we will see flooding in some areas within the forecast areas over the coming days.”
