Tasmanians in the northern half of the state are urged to prepared for rain over the coming days.
The Bureau of Meteorology has forecast widespread rainfall across the northern half of the state in the next 24-36 hours. There is a Flood Watch current for the North West, North and North East catchments.
“At the moment, advice from the Bureau of Meteorology means people in the northern half of the state can expect rain to fall into river catchments that are already wet and responsive to rainfall which will impact river levels,” said Tasmania SES Acting Assistant Director Operations & Recourses, David McCambridge.
“SES encourage people to be aware of the weather that is forecast, and to prepare their properties accordingly. This means knowing your flood risk and understanding whether your street and home are prone to flooding.
“We have SES volunteer crews ready to assist the community and there are resources available on our website at ses.tas.gov.au – on how best to prepare.
“Anyone in an area affected by rains is encouraged to be vigilant, drive to the conditions and be aware of the increased hazards caused by heavy rainfall and river rises, including water and debris on and around roads.”
