Kingston Beach areas around Browns River can flood during high rainfall events.

Some areas along Whitewater Creek can also flood.

Stormwater run-off/ overland flow can also affect some areas around Kingston in storm events.  Parts of Blackmans Bay are prone to stormwater run-off / flash flooding

Coastal inundation can flood low-lying areas near the coast, during storm events especially at high tide.

There is often coastal storm surge at the same time as flooding from rivers, causing greater water levels near river mouths.

The maps in this guide show the level of riverine flooding that has a 1% chance of happening any year along with possible storm surge and high tides. Riverine flooding is when rivers burst their banks. 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 minor flooding they may have experienced.

See the Tasmanian Strategic Flood Maps to view the flood maps in more detail.

Even if your home is not inundated, you should be prepared for power and telecommunications outages. Depending on where the rain falls and how heavy it is, access roads may be impassable. Travel in the area is likely to be difficult or impossible until roads are clear.  If you are safe at home or elsewhere, it is usually best if 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.

您有洪水風險嗎？

Browns River at Kingston has a long history of flooding. Local historians identify at least 21 major flood events between 1847 and 2015. The area often has minor flooding. 

The 2018 Southern Tasmania Extreme Weather Event caused considerable damage from stormwater runoff around Kingston, including the Kingston central business area.

我應該做什麼？

  • 檢查地圖，看看您的住宅或企業是否可能遭受洪水侵襲。.
  • 評估您的住家或公司，並做好準備以盡量減少潛在的洪水損害。.
  • 檢查您是否能在洪水期間安全地抵達家中、工作地點或學校。.
  • Prepare a Home Emergency Plan. See 為緊急情況做好準備 – A guide for individuals and households to prepare for emergencies . 
  • 如果你可能被隔離且必須取得服務，你可能需要提早撤離。.

Floods like the one shown in the map, or worse, will occur again. No two floods are the same. If you live in a low-lying area or near a watercourse, your house may flood. Even if your home is safe, you may need to detour around flooded areas or your road access may be cut. Never drive into or enter flood waters. Roads and bridges may be washed out or unsafe. Avoid travel during floods.

知道該怎麼做可以拯救你的生命並保護你的財產。制定家庭緊急計畫是最好的準備方法之一。決定天氣和降雨的觸發條件，以便採取行動。.

中央氣象局預報、警報與觀測

The Bureau issues a Flood Warning, Severe Weather Warning and/or Thunderstorm Warning for heavy rainfall that may lead to flash flooding whenever heavy rain is expected in an area. The time between the warning and heavy rain occurring can vary from an hour to 24 hours or more.

There are no river level flood warnings for Browns River- the short catchment means river gauge information would not provide enough warning time.

雨量觀測 at Mt Wellington / kunanyi, Longley, Hobart and other nearby rain gauges can indicate possible flood risks. Given the very short warning times, it is best to act on the predictive Bureau warnings rather than wait for any flood alerts during rainfall.

這 Mt Koonya Radar is useful to be aware in real-time where heavy rainfall is falling.  Radar Rainfall estimates can also fill in gaps in areas where there are no rainfall stations.

洪水水位

While no two floods are the same, the following describes what you can expect at different flood levels around the area. Even if your property is not flooded, you need to think about access. Different levels of rainfall can cause flooding depending on its intensity, duration and how wet the ground is beforehand and where the rain falls.

小範圍淹水

Minor flooding can inundate parts of the Kingston golf course and low-lying parkland along rivers. This type of flooding can happen on average every 5 years or more (20% chance of happening any year or more).

中度洪水

A moderate flooding event can inundate riverside parklands and low-lying backyards and streets.  Some homes and other buildings may start to flood, particularly along:

  • Beach Road near the river and Balmoral Road in Kingston Beach, and
  • Lester Court in Kingston. 

Storm water, water and sewerage systems may be impacted.

This level of flooding has about a 5%-20% chance of happening any year (AEP – annual exceedance probability). Weather systems with heavy rain can cause storm surge, coastal inundation and coastal erosion. Flooding is most likely around high tide at Kingston Beach.

嚴重洪水

Major flooding with a 1% chance of happening any year could impact about 250 homes, businesses and other buildings in the area, particularly if there is storm surge and coastal inundation.  Areas that could flood include:

Kingston Beach

  • Many properties along Beach Road
  • Properties along Balmoral Road near the salt marshes
  • Beach Road South side and Recreation Street surrounds
  • Kingston
  • Channel Highway near Browns Road, and properties on Browns Road near Channel Highway. Huon Highway near Goshawk Way can also flood.
  • Other Firthside low-lying areas. The nearby Southern Outlet may be cut, depending where and how heavy rain falls.
  • Some properties along O’Connor Drive, Whitewater Crescent and Lester Court along Whitewater Creek.
  • While Kingborough Council have completed flood mitigation works around Kingston CBD, there may still be some flooding after very heavy intense rain
  • Some isolated properties along Summerleas Road and Groningen Road, including some creek crossings and driveways.
  • There can be stormwater run-off in other places if there is heavy rain.

Blackmans Bay

  • Low-lying properties around Pearce Avenue / Roslyn Ave/ Wells Parade/ Ocean Esplanade and on Blowhole Road can be prone to flooding.
  • Stormwater run-off can affect many places if there is sudden heavy rain.
  • Taroona/ Bonnet Hill, Howden and Tinderbox do not have significant flood risk mapped.  However, Howden Road may be cut for a short time if there is very heavy rain.

了解你的風險，做好準備，盡可能降低風險，與他人聯繫，保持警惕並安全行動。.

洪水之前

1. 認識你的風險

塔斯馬尼亞經常發生洪水，可能造成廣泛且嚴重的損害。在過去 200 年裡，塔斯馬尼亞有 78 人死於與洪水相關的事件。本指南旨在幫助您了解您所在地區的洪水風險。.

2. 準備您的家戶

制定包含風暴和洪水應變計畫

思考一下在風暴或洪水來襲時你會怎麼做，意味著你準備得更充分，每個人都會更安全。制定一個家庭中的每個人都理解的緊急計畫。有檢查表可以幫助你思考你的計畫——請參閱 為緊急情況做好準備 – 為個人和家庭準備應急措施的指南。. 
定期檢查您的計劃，並讓家中的每個人都設想一次可能影響您家的洪水情況來進行測試。.

準備一個緊急救生包

準備好了

  • 電池供電的收音機和手電筒，備用電池
  • 重要資訊，例如您的緊急應變計畫
  • 緊急電話號碼列表
  • 食物和水
  • 急救箱
  • 橡膠手套或堅固的皮革手套

需要時打包

  • 暖和的衣服、結實的鞋子或靴子
  • 藥品、眼鏡或其他必需品
  • 手機和充電器
  • 寵物食品和他們需要的任何其他東西
  • 照片和特別紀念品
  • 錢
  • 重要文件，例如
    • 保險文件
    • 護照與
    • 出生證明

定期測試收音機和手電筒的電池。.

3. 在可能的情況下，降低您遭受洪水侵襲的風險

  • 在購買、維護或開發房地產時，請考慮風暴、洪水和其他災害。.
  • 修剪或移除您家中、商家或您家附近有電力線的樹木和樹枝。.
  • 保持您的排水溝和排水管暢通。.

4. 與他人建立聯繫

認識你的鄰居並參與你的社區。一個緊密的社區，在緊急情況下更安全、更有韌性，並有助於每個人在事後更好地恢復。檢查家人和鄰居是否安全，並了解正在發生的事情。.

See for example the Huon Valley Good Neighbour project.

期間

5. Keep up to date

隨時留意周遭狀況。定期查看天氣預報、觀測數據和警報。. 

6. Act Safe

  • 監督兒童.
  • 為可能的停電、停水或斷網做好準備。.
  • 檢查您的緊急救助包是否已準備就緒。.
  • 切勿靠近淹水區域，例如排水溝。. 永不 在洪水中有行走、玩耍、骑行或开车。你無法確定水下有什麼，或水有多深、流速有多快。20公分的湍急的洪水就很容易將人沖走並淹死。洪水可能很危險。.

您的房屋可能發生淹水時

  • 將家居物品放在高處，以盡量減少潛在損壞。.
  • 如果安全的話，請關閉水電和瓦斯。. 
  • 一種防止污水倒灌回屋內的好方法是將沙包放入塑膠袋中，然後用它們來堵塞馬桶、蓋住排水孔和水槽。.
  • 趁你還能安全脫困時趕快離開。.

如果你需要疏散

  • 請遵循 SES / 塔斯馬尼亞警方的建議。.  
  • 帶上你的緊急求生包。. 
  • 前往朋友或家人較安全的地方，或前往疏散中心。. 
  • 讓別人知道你去了哪裡。.

照顧好你的動物

在緊急情況下，您有責任照顧您的動物。如果您有寵物和其他動物，在洪水或其他緊急情況下，疏散的時間會更長。在洪水可能上漲之前，請及時將牲畜移離易受洪水影響的地區。更多資訊請參閱

請避免在風暴期間和風暴之後旅行

  • 不要去觀光。觀光客會延誤緊急服務並造成事故。.
  • 注意危險，例如
    • 路面积水
    • 損壞的電力線
    • 山崩
    • 損壞的道路
    • 倒下的樹木或屋頂鐵片。.
  • 切勿駕車通過淹水區域。洪水中的大多數死亡和救援事件都與駕車通過淹水區域有關。.
  • 緩慢行駛，並在不受洪水影響的道路上打開頭燈。.

之後

  • 請持續收聽 ABC 地方電台的最新消息、道路重新開放、社區會議等資訊。.
  • 如果您離開家，請勿在聯邦緊急事務局 (SES) 或塔斯馬尼亞警方告知您安全之前回家。.
  • 注意道路上的危險，例如路面上的泥沙或碎屑、道路/橋樑損壞以及正在進行清理和修復工作的工人。.

如果您的房屋已受損

  • 在檢查損壞時，請待在地面。小心掉落的樹木、碎玻璃、鬆動的屋頂或其它危險物品。.
  • 穿著堅固的靴子、手套和防護服。. 
  • 請使用手電筒，切勿在受洪水影響的建築物內使用火柴或蠟燭。. 
  • 將所有飲用水煮沸，直到被告知自來水再次安全為止。.
  • Do not turn on electricity or gas until it is tested by a licensed electrician or gas fitter for safety.
  • 如果您的房屋受損，需要暫時住在其他地方，請攜帶您的緊急應變包和寵物一同前往。
  • 如安全，請拍攝任何損壞的照片，並聯繫您的保險公司。.
  • 監督兒童.
  • 檢查鄰居是否安好。.

免責聲明

The maps show potential flooding risks from consistent levels of rainfall across catchments, such as a 1% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP).  In flooding events, rainfall is likely to be more inconsistent across a catchment, so these flood maps should be considered indicative only.  The mapped areas of flood risk show higher probability of inundation. Other areas have lower probability of flooding, but in severe and rare events (rarer than 1%AEP), other lower areas may be also at risk of inundation.
