Tasmania State Emergency Service (SES) is renewing the call to Tasmanians, particularly those in the north and north-west, to be prepared for intense rainfall, damaging winds, and potential flooding from tonight.
Tasmania SES Acting Director, Leon Smith, said “As forecast by the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM), Tasmania is looking at a protracted rain event of significance that is going to impact the north and north-west of the state from tonight.”
“The state is already very wet, which means that rain over the next few days could lead to flooding in the forecast areas.
“It’s imperative that Tasmanians heed the warnings and take note that intense rainfalls could lead to significant flooding within the north-west, north, and north-east areas of the state.”
Forecast damaging winds, combined with wet soil, could lead to trees coming down, and power outages.
“Of concern in the first instance, modelling shows impacts on the north-west townships of Railton, Latrobe, Wivenhoe, Burnie, and Sheffield,” said Acting Director Smith.
“これは我々が監視している重要かつ流動的な状況ですが、今後数日間で予報地域の一部では必然的に洪水が発生するでしょう。.
“If you know that you live in a low-lying area that is prone to flooding; if you were in areas of the North-West in the 2016 floods; and you are aware that your property, or the property of someone you know, has been previously impacted by flood, there is a high chance flood impacts will be seen during this event.
“I encourage the community to keep up-to-date with the weather and flood warnings from the official emergency sources.
“SESのウェブサイトのリソースを活用し、安全に意思決定を行う計画を立ててください。これは重大な出来事になると予想されており、緊急サービスは地域社会を支援する準備ができています。.
“現在の状況について懸念がある場合は、早めに退席する決断をしてください。”
