If this happens, these water crossings may be closed for safety reasons.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Flash flooding can affect across Wivenhoe and along the Emu River. Flash flooding means there can be little specific warning beyond forecasts for heavy rain or severe weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The maps in this guide show the level of flooding that has a 1% chance of happening any year (1% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP)). You are likely to experience flooding such as that shown in the maps in your lifetime. Tasmanians need to prepare for flood events that may not happen often as well as the minor flooding they may have experienced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if your business or home is not inundated, you should be prepared for isolation plus potential power and telecommunications outages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Travel in the area is likely to be difficult or impossible until roads are clear.&nbsp; If you are safe at home, your work or elsewhere, it is usually best you stay where you are until the flooding subsides, unless there is an emergency. If you need to evacuate, you should leave early, before flood waters rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the Wivenhoe area is at risk of flooding, there is likely to also be flooding in surrounding areas. This may impact your employees, and their ability to work for you during the flooding event.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you own or manage a business, you should have an emergency plan that covers floods.&nbsp; This can help you to reduce your losses from flooding and other emergencies. It can also help you to continue operating during and after a major flood.
