Understand your flood risk and get ready<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

If there is a severe storm bringing heavy rainfall across the Wellington Range, several waterways from Rosetta to Granton could flood. Roads, schools, businesses and properties may flood and Brooker Highway could be cut in several places. This would mean that large parts of these suburbs may become isolated. Travel and business could be difficult or impossible for short periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as flooding from creeks and rivulets, heavy rain can directly cause flooding in this area. On the maps in this plan you can see flooding from both rivers and heavy rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During and following very heavy rain, there is a risk of landslides in steep areas that could damage roads and properties. Flooding and erosion from tides, storm and flood in the Derwent are also possible along the coastal areas in this plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The maps in this guide show the level of flooding that has a 1% chance of happening any year (known as 1% Annual Exceedance Probability, or 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

Even if your home is not flooded, you should be prepared for isolation plus potential power and telecommunications outages. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
