Mole Creek can flood from Mole Creek and Limestone Private Creek.

Chudleigh and Caveside can flood from Lobster Rivulet, and Ugbrook from Sassafras Creek.

Liena can experience riverine flooding from the Mersey River.

The maps show the expected Moderate and Major Flood levels in and around Mole Creek. You are likely to experience a major flood in your lifetime.

In a major flooding event, roads in and around Mole Creek, Chudleigh, Caveside and Liena are likely to be cut and some areas inundated. If you need to evacuate, you should leave early, before flood waters rise. Listen to ABC local radio for warnings and advice.

In such flooding events, the Mole Creek region may become isolated due to flooding of the Mole Creek Road, Caveside Road, Liena Road and Union Bridge Road. Flooding, landslips or fallen trees may also cut minor roads. It is dangerous to drive through flooded roads, particularly in isolated areas.

Even if your home is not inundated, you may be isolated for several days. You should have supplies for up to three days and be prepared for power and telecommunications outages. Note if you are isolated, you may not be able to access medical or other help if needed.

您有洪水风险吗？

Example past flooding events around Mole Creek include the following.

In 2011 there were two Moderate flood events causing damage to some properties.
In June 2016 there was a significant Major flooding. Properties and roads were impacted by floodwaters around Mole Creek and Chudleigh. There was extensive flooding across the Meander Valley area damaging buildings, roads, and bridges.
In October 2022 there was a Major flooding event with property and roads impacted, and the region was isolated.

我应该怎么做？

Check the map to see whether your home or business is likely to be at risk during a flood.
Check if you might not be able to safely get to your home, work, or school during a flood.
准备家庭应急计划。考虑是否需要在洪水来临前撤离。参见做好应急准备 – 个人和家庭应急准备指南。.
评估您的住宅或企业，并做好准备以最大程度地减少潜在的洪水损害。.

Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) Forecasts, Warnings, and Observations

BoM issues a Flood Watch when predicted weather might cause floods in one or two days. A Flood Watch may

be for a specific area such as Deloraine, or
be generalised such as for Great Western Tiers, Central Plateau or Central North forecast district.

BoM issues a Severe Weather Warning for very heavy rain that may lead to flash flooding whenever this weather is occurring or is expected in an area. The amount of time between the warning and the arrival of heavy rain can vary from an hour to 24 hours or sometimes more.

There are no gauging stations in the Mole Creek, Lobster Rivulet and Sassafras Creek catchments to support BoM to issue Flood Warnings with specific flood heights for the Mersey River tributary catchments.

BoM issues Flood Warnings with specific flood heights for the Mersey River at Liena gauging site with warning of flood heights. Flood Warnings can be issued for Minor (2.4m), Moderate (3.1m) and Major (4.3m) flood levels.

理解警告和关键信息

留意周围发生的事情。定期查看预报、观测和警报。.

No two floods are the same. Floods like the one shown in the map or worse will occur again.

If you live in a low-lying area you may be at risk of flooding. Even if your home is safe, you may need to detour around flooded areas. Never drive through or enter flood waters.

Knowing what to do can save your life and help protect your property. Preparing a Home Emergency Plan is one of the best ways to prepare.

Include weather and rainfall triggers for action in your Home Emergency Plan.

了解风险，做好准备，尽可能降低风险，与他人联系，保持警惕，并安全行事。.

洪水之前

了解您的风险

塔斯马尼亚州经常发生洪水，可能造成广泛而重大的损失。在过去的 200 年里，塔斯马尼亚州有 78 人死于与洪水有关的事故。本指南旨在帮助您了解您所在地区的洪水风险。.

2. 准备您的家庭

制定涵盖风暴和洪水的应急计划

考虑一下在风暴或洪水来临时你会怎么做，这意味着你会有更好的准备，每个人都会更安全。制定一个你的家庭成员都明白的应急计划。有一些清单可以帮助你完善你的计划——请看做好应急准备 – 个人和家庭应急准备指南。.
定期检查您的计划，并让家中的每一位成员都模拟可能影响您家庭的洪水场景进行演练。.

准备一个应急包

准备好了

电池供电的收音机和手电筒，备用电池
重要信息，例如您的应急计划
紧急电话号码列表
食物和水
急救箱
橡胶或结实的皮革手套

视情况打包

保暖衣物、结实的鞋子或靴子
药品、眼镜或其他必需品
手机和充电器
宠物食品以及它们所需的其他任何物品
照片和特别的纪念品
钱
重要文件，例如
- 保险单据
- 护照和
- 出生证明

定期测试收音机和手电筒里的电池。.

3. 尽可能降低洪水风险

在购买、维护或开发房产时，请考虑风暴、洪水和其他危险。.
修剪或移除您家中、商铺上方或您物业附近电线上方的树木和树枝。.
保持雨水槽和排水沟畅通。.

4. 与他人联系

认识你的邻居并参与社区活动。一个联系紧密的社区在紧急情况下更安全、更有韧性，并且有助于每个人在事后更好地恢复。检查家人和邻居是否安全，是否了解正在发生的情况。.

See for example the Huon Valley Good Neighbour project.

5. Keep up to date

留意周围发生的事情。定期查看预报、观测和警报。.

6. Act Safe

看管好孩子。.
为应对可能的电力、供水或网络中断做好准备。.
检查您的应急包是否已准备好。.
避开积水区域，如排水沟。. 永不在洪水期间徒步、玩耍、骑车或驾车。您无法分辨水下有什么，也无法判断水深或水流速度。在仅 20 厘米的快速流动的水中，很容易被冲走并溺水。洪水可能很危险。.

当地面发生洪水时

将家用物品放在高处以最大程度地减少可能的损坏。.
如果安全的话，请关闭水电煤气。.
一种防止污水倒灌回家的好方法是将沙袋放入塑料袋中，然后用它们堵住马桶、覆盖排水管和水槽。.
趁还能安全离开就走。.

如果您需要撤离

遵循 SES / 塔斯马尼亚警方的建议。.
带上你的应急包。.
去安全地点或避难中心与亲友会合。.
让别人知道你去了哪里。.

照顾好您的动物

在紧急情况下，您有责任照顾好您的动物。如果您有宠物和其他动物，在洪水或其他紧急情况下疏散需要更长的时间。在洪水可能上涨之前，将牲畜转移到易受洪水影响的地区。欲了解更多信息，请参阅

避免在风暴期间和风暴过后出行

不要去观光。游客会延误紧急服务并造成事故。.
注意诸如
- 路面积水
- 受损的电力线
- 山体滑坡
- 损坏的道路
- 倒下的树木或屋面板。.
切勿冒险涉水。洪水中的大多数死亡和救援事件都与驾车涉水有关。.
在未受洪水影响的路段，请慢行并打开车头灯。.

之后

请继续收听 ABC 本地广播电台的最新消息、道路重新开放信息、社区会议等。.
如果您离开了家，在紧急事务管理署（SES）或塔斯马尼亚警方告知您可以安全返回之前，请勿回家。.
注意道路危险，例如路面上的泥土或碎屑、损坏的道路/桥梁以及正在进行清理和维修的工作人员。.

如果您的房屋遭到损坏

在检查损坏时，请留在地面。注意倒下的树木、碎玻璃、松动的屋顶或其他危险。.
穿结实的靴子、手套和防护服。.
在受洪水影响的建筑物内部，请使用手电筒，切勿使用火柴或蜡烛。.
饮用水必须煮沸，直到被告知自来水安全为止。.
在经过持证电工或燃气技师安全检测前，请勿开启电源或燃气。.
如果您的房屋受损，需要住到别处，请带上您的应急包和宠物。
如果安全，请拍摄任何损坏的照片并联系您的保险公司。.
看管好孩子。.
检查邻居是否安好。.

地图显示了集水区面临持续降雨的潜在洪水风险，例如%年一遇（AEP）的降雨。在洪水事件中，降雨在集水区内可能更不均匀，因此这些洪水地图仅供参考。已标绘的洪水风险区域表明被淹没的可能性较高。其他地区洪水风险较低，但在罕见且严重的洪水事件（%年一遇AEP的降雨概率更低）中，其他低洼地区也可能面临被淹没的风险。.
