Activating your emergency plan
The time you spent beforehand getting ready will pay off now and help keep you and what you value safe. Have an emergency kit ready to go.
Even if a severe storm or flood does not affect your property directly, access routes may be cut in an emergency. Depending where you live, prepare for possible extended cuts to
- Power
- Internet and Phone
- Water.
You are responsible for the safety of your animals.
Bring pets inside and prepare them for evacuation. See RSPCA’s Ready Pet Go information. If you have livestock, move them to higher ground if needed. See the Farm Flood Readiness Toolkit.
Be aware of weather conditions and warnings
- Download the TasALERT App or keep checking the website
- Listen to ABC local radio
- There may also be posts on Facebook, but these are not always timely
- Check that family and neighbours are safe and aware of what’s happening.
- View Tasmanian Police information on road access and closures.
Act on emergency warnings
Follow all advice given to you by emergency services. It is important to act early.
If your property could be unsafe, leave early before you may get cut off. See more information about leaving your home in an emergency
Take active steps to reduce damage to your property in a flood or storm.
Know who to call
Keep a list of emergency numbers handy.
(change to reflect the fridge flip first page)
If your property could flood or is damaged
Be ready to evacuate if necessary.
If you’re advised to evacuate or there is a chance your home could flood
- Follow all instructions given by authorities.
- Take your emergency kit.
- Take your pets with you. Put them on leads or in pet containers. Dogs should wear a muzzle.
- Turn off electricity, gas and water at the mains. Secure gas bottles and any other items that could float.
- Stay with others from home during the evacuation.
- Go to an evacuation centre if told to do so. If not, shelter at a friend or relative’s place on higher ground away from the flood.
- Let others know wherever you go.
See TasALERT to find the nearest evacuation centre. Go to family or friends if you can. Go early, as roads may be cut.
Reduce flood damage
If you have time, here are some steps for reducing flood damage before the flood arrives.
- Secure objects that are likely to float and cause damage.
- Securely stack furniture and possessions on benches and tables, placing electrical items on top.
- Place waste containers, chemicals and poisons well above the predicted water level.
- Block toilets and drains with sandbags to prevent sewerage backflow.
If you stay at home during a flood
- Be aware the home could be a refuge for snakes, spiders and vermin if there is flooding.
- Keep an eye out and don’t allow children to play in, or near, flood waters.
- Never drive in flood waters.
- Never swim or wade in flood waters.
What you need if you stay at home during a severe storm or flood
Keep safe during a severe storm
- Stay inside and keep away from windows.
- If you’re outdoors, find safe shelter – away from trees, powerlines and metal structures.
- Check that neighbours know about the warnings and are ready.
- Test batteries in radios and torches.
- Power blackouts can occur during storms. Turn off and unplug all non-essential electrical items.
- If there is a blackout, use a torch instead of candles.
If you’re driving:
- Be alert and watch for hazards: powerlines, fast-flowing water, washed away roads or bridges, tree branches and roofing iron.
- Slow down, drive to the conditions and keep your headlights on.
