Tasmania State Emergency Service (SES) is asking the community to be prepared with the Bureau of Meteorology issuing a Severe Weather Warning for Western, Upper Derwent Valley and South East forecast districts with damaging winds averaging 60-70 km\/h and gusts of around 100km\/h expected to develop on Tuesday morning before easing again in the late evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This follows severe weather experienced over the weekend with SES members, alongside Tasmania Police and Tasmania Fire Service (TFS), responding to multiple incidents across southern Tasmania with damaging winds that impacted the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acting Assistant Director, Operations and Resources, Chris Irvine said a Severe Weather Warning was issued on Saturday (4 October) for the Western, Upper Derwent Valley and South East forecast districts, with damaging west to north-westerly winds reaching peak gusts of around 100 km\/h, and up to 120 km\/h in elevated terrain and far southern coastal areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe received nine requests for assistance on Sunday (5 October), all within the southern region, particularly in the greater Hobart area including Bellerive, Howrah, Midway Point, Hobart CBD, Glenorchy, and Lawitta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll of these requests related to minor property damage, including broken windows, damaged roofing and fencing, and securing loose items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAbout 12 noon on Sunday (5 October), SES, Police and TFS responded to an incident at Glebe Hill Shopping Centre on Hobart\u2019s eastern shore where strong winds caused a carpark roof sail cloth to become loose and land on approximately eight vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFortunately, no injuries were reported, though several vehicles sustained minor damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSES and TFS crews secured the sail cloth using ropes, while Tasmania Police ensured public safety at the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAbout 12:45pm Sunday, SES crews attended a callout to a building in the Hobart CBD to secure a loose piece of fascia, thankfully, no injuries were reported,\u201d said Mr Irvine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRainfall totals over the past 48 hours reached 30\u201350mm in western Tasmania, 10\u201330mm in northern areas, and 5\u201310mm elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cContinued rainfall in western regions may increase the risk of flooding in western and southern catchments later this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019d like to send our heartfelt thanks to all volunteers who responded over the weekend,\u201d added Mr Irvine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTheir dedication, resilience, and readiness to serve, often in challenging and unpredictable conditions, make a profound difference in the safety and wellbeing of our communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs the severe weather continues, we\u2019re asking people in the affected areas to continue to monitor conditions and keep up to date with warnings on TasALERT.com or listen to local ABC radio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur SES crews remain ready to help. Their assistance can be requested by calling 132 500 and in an emergency people should always phone Triple Zero (000),\u201d said Mr Irvine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
