These are designed to lower the flood risk in parts of Latrobe. Areas inside the levee mitigated areas are expected to flood less often or not as deeply as before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, levees are not guaranteed to stop all flooding. SES recommends people evacuate levee protected areas in major flood events. Major flooding could see the levee overtop or fail. Major flooding has a 2% chance (2% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) of occurring in any year. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your property is outside the levee mitigated area, your flood risk has not changed. There is also some uncertainty about how the new infrastructure might affect flooding in other areas nearby. The maps show areas that are likely to be inundated and isolated in a flood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a major flood, roads in and around Latrobe will be cut before some areas are flooded. If you need to evacuate, you should leave early, before flood waters rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u0110i t\u1edbi <a href=\"http:\/\/www.TasALERT.com\">www.TasALERT.com<\/a> ho\u1eb7c nghe \u0111\u00e0i ABC \u0111\u1ecba ph\u01b0\u01a1ng \u0111\u1ec3 nh\u1eadn c\u1ea3nh b\u00e1o v\u00e0 l\u1eddi khuy\u00ean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>N\u01b0\u1edbc l\u0169 c\u00f3 th\u1ec3 khi\u1ebfn nh\u00e0 b\u1ea1n b\u1ecb c\u00f4 l\u1eadp trong nhi\u1ec1u ng\u00e0y.
