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.
“Ini adalah situasi yang dinamik dan signifikan yang sedang kami pantau, tetapi sudah pasti kami akan melihat banjir di beberapa kawasan dalam kawasan ramalan dalam beberapa hari akan datang.".
“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.
“Gunakan sumber di laman web SES dan rancang untuk membuat keputusan dengan selamat. Ini diramalkan sebagai peristiwa penting dan perkhidmatan kecemasan bersedia untuk membantu komuniti.
“Jika anda mempunyai sebarang kebimbangan mengenai situasi semasa, buatlah keputusan untuk keluar awal.”
