Today marks a significant step forward in safeguarding Tasmania’s communities as we proudly announce the public release of the Tasmanian Strategic Flood Maps (TSFM).

This $3 million project was jointly funded between the Tasmanian and Australian Governments.

This resource will enhance strategic and operational planning capabilities before, during, and after flood events, benefiting communities across the state.

By making this information publicly available, we’re empowering Tasmanians with clear, actionable flood risk information, enabling better preparedness for extreme weather events.

This tool also provides government agencies and other stakeholders with strategic insights to inform flood risk assessments, operational planning, and land-use management.

The flood maps use calibrated models that are supported by technical analysis, and they have been validated against recent significant flood events in 2022 and 2024.

For more information or to access the Tasmanian Strategic Flood Maps, visit the SES website at www.ses.tas.gov.au/floodmaps. 

The TSFM will also soon be available via the RiskReady online tool at TasAlert.com.
