Low lying areas along the Huon River can be at risk of flooding if the Huon River has a major flood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parts of Dover and surrounding areas are subject to flash flooding from other waterways such as Dover Rivulet, Esperance River and Lune River if there is heavy local rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are likely to experience flooding such as that shown in the maps at least once in your lifetime. Flash flooding means there is often little specific warning of flooding beyond forecasts for heavy rain or severe weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if your home is not inundated, you should be prepared for isolation plus potential power and telecommunications outages. Key access roads may be cut at Huonville, Geeveston and some other places during a major flood event. Travel in the area is likely to be difficult or impossible until roads are clear and safe. 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 waters rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caves in the area can flood and heavy rainfall can cause cave instability.  Do not enter caves in the area if heavy rain is forecast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listen to ABC local radio 936AM for warnings and advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Huon River has a long history of flooding, with major flood events in 1901, 1947, 1958, 1960, 1975, 1996, 2016 and 2022. The area often has minor flooding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dover and the areas south of Geeveston are exposed to weather systems from the West, South and East. The area often has heavy rain, and has had flooding before, for example in December 1995. Tasmanians need to be prepared for flood events that may not happen often, as well as the more minor flooding they may have experienced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
