Floodwater can cut roads such as<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bass Highway near Elizabeth Town<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Port Sorell Road, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Local streets like Rice Street and Seabreeze Avenue in several places.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If there is heavy local rain, other areas can also have flash flooding from local waterways such as<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Panatana Rivulet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pardoe Creek, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Franklin Rivulet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In a flash flood, you cannot rely on flood warnings from rivers, only forecasts for heavy rain or severe weather. Higher than usual tides and storms may also increase the risk of flooding in lower lying areas surrounding the Port Sorell waterway.<\/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. 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 home is not inundated, you should be prepared for isolation plus potential power and telecommunications outages.&nbsp; Depending on where the rain falls and how heavy it is, roads throughout the area may be impassable. Travel in the area is likely to be difficult or impossible until the roads are clear.&nbsp; If you are safe at home 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 water rises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen to ABC local radio 91.7FM for warnings and advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u0e04\u0e38\u0e13\u0e21\u0e35\u0e04\u0e27\u0e32\u0e21\u0e40\u0e2a\u0e35\u0e48\u0e22\u0e07\u0e15\u0e48\u0e2d\u0e19\u0e49\u0e33\u0e17\u0e48\u0e27\u0e21\u0e2b\u0e23\u0e37\u0e2d\u0e44\u0e21\u0e48<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Rubicon River has a history of flooding with flooding impacts seen as recently as 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"725\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/d2tv960yzi0spr.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Port-Sorell-and-surrounds-1PC-River-and-Overland-flood-extent-with-Coastal-Inundation-Risk-725x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Port Sorell and surrounds flood map 1% AEP\" class=\"wp-image-10786\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2tv960yzi0spr.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Port-Sorell-and-surrounds-1PC-River-and-Overland-flood-extent-with-Coastal-Inundation-Risk-725x1024.jpg 725w, https:\/\/d2tv960yzi0spr.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Port-Sorell-and-surrounds-1PC-River-and-Overland-flood-extent-with-Coastal-Inundation-Risk-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/d2tv960yzi0spr.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Port-Sorell-and-surrounds-1PC-River-and-Overland-flood-extent-with-Coastal-Inundation-Risk-768x1085.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d2tv960yzi0spr.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Port-Sorell-and-surrounds-1PC-River-and-Overland-flood-extent-with-Coastal-Inundation-Risk.jpg 849w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 725px) 100vw, 725px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"719\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/d2tv960yzi0spr.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Hawley-Beach-1PC-Riverine-and-Overland-flood-extents-with-Coastal-Indundation-Risk-719x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Hawley Beach flood map 1% AEP\" class=\"wp-image-10787\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2tv960yzi0spr.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Hawley-Beach-1PC-Riverine-and-Overland-flood-extents-with-Coastal-Indundation-Risk-719x1024.jpg 719w, https:\/\/d2tv960yzi0spr.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Hawley-Beach-1PC-Riverine-and-Overland-flood-extents-with-Coastal-Indundation-Risk-211x300.jpg 211w, https:\/\/d2tv960yzi0spr.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Hawley-Beach-1PC-Riverine-and-Overland-flood-extents-with-Coastal-Indundation-Risk-768x1093.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d2tv960yzi0spr.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Hawley-Beach-1PC-Riverine-and-Overland-flood-extents-with-Coastal-Indundation-Risk.jpg 826w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 719px) 100vw, 719px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Flooding information for communities from Elizabeth Town to Port Sorell and surrounds \u00a0Version 1.1 January 2026 &#8211;
