Riverine flooding information for communities and properties on the Coal River and its tributaries

DRAFT version 0.1 Please email comments to ses@ses.tas.gov.au.

Understand your flood risk and get ready

If the Coal River has a major flood, parts of Richmond may flood, including homes. Native Hut Rivulet may also flood parts of Campania, mostly in the north of the town. Agricultural land will flood and bridges and there may be water over bridges and roads.

Flash flooding can also cause local flooding in this area, including in the towns of

Richmond
Campania, and
Colebrook.

Flash flooding is caused directly by heavy rain and is difficult to predict. There may be little or no warning other than forecasts for heavy rain or severe weather.

The maps in this guide show the level of flooding that has a 1% chance of happening any year, this is known as 1% Annual Exceedance Probability (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 minor flooding they may have experienced.

Even if your home is not inundated, you should prepare for isolation plus potential power and telecommunications outages. Roads in the area may be cut, including

Colebrook Rd
Richmond Rd
Mud Walls Rd
Fingerpost Rd
Estate Rd
Eldon Rd.

Depending on where the rain falls and how heavy it is, other local roads may also be cut. 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 you stay where you are until the flooding subsides. If you need to evacuate, you should leave early, before flood waters rise.

您有洪水風險嗎？

There have been significant floods in the Coal River in 2011, 2009, 1993 and 1986. Parts of this area were flooded in the well known 1929 flood event, and in 1960 it’s said that the river reached the top of the arches on the Richmond Bridge.

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 – 為個人和家庭準備應急措施的指南。.
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. Knowing what to do can save your life and help protect your property. Having a Home Emergency Plan is one of the best ways to prepare. Decide on weather and rainfall triggers for when to act.

中央氣象局預報、警報與觀測

本局發佈 洪水警报、恶劣天气警报和/或雷暴警报，可能因强降雨引发山洪暴发 每當大雨 is expected in an area. The time between the warning and heavy rain occurring can vary from an hour to 24 hours or more.

Whenever rain that may lead to flooding along the Coal River is expected, the Bureau will issue:

A Flood Watch – a “heads up” early advice of forecast weather that may lead to flooding
A generalised Flood Warning – giving a prediction of when flooding is likely to develop.
There are no formal flood warning levels for the Coal River or other waterways in this area. Track water levels using the NRE Water Portal. There are four gauges in this area:
Coal River downstream Brown Mountain Road
Coal River upstream White Kangaroo Rivulet
White Kangaroo Rivulet upstream Coal River
Coal River at Richmond

雨量觀測 at

Colebrook
Tunnack Fire Station
Campania
Richmond and
other nearby rain gauges

can indicate possible flood risks. Given the very short warning times, it is best to act on the predictive BoM 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.

了解警告和關鍵資訊

隨時留意周遭狀況。定期查看天氣預報、觀測數據和警報。.

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 and services. Different levels of rainfall can cause flooding depending on its intensity, duration, how wet the ground is beforehand and where the rain falls.

小範圍淹水

A minor flood can inundate low lying paddocks, orchards and other farmland. Stock should be moved for their safety. There may also be some flooding across some minor roads and parkland areas. In Richmond, minor flooding may begin to inundate low lying streets and properties but would be below floor level.

中度洪水

There is more extensive flooding of agricultural land and some buildings may flood above floor height. Certain streets in Richmond are likely to flood such as

Cosgrove Drive, and
Woodburn Close.

Some properties may be isolated for a few hours as minor roads become flooded.

嚴重洪水

There is at least a 2% chance in any year of major flooding that can flood homes and other buildings in parts of

Richmond,
Colebrook,
Campania and
the surrounding areas.

This is known as the Annual Exceedance Probability, or AEP.

Native Hut Rivulet may flood the northern part of Campania. In Colebrook the main risk is flooded roads from Wallaby Rivulet. In Richmond there are streets that will flood including

Wellington Street
Cosgrove Drive
Woodburn Close, and
St Johns Circle.

This level of flooding could result from about 55-60mm of rain over 6 hours in Richmond, for example. Roads in the flooded areas will be closed, houses may be flooded and surrounding agricultural land will be flooded. This could include infrastructure for electricity, water, phone and internet.

Many major and minor roads will be closed, isolating businesses, houses, farms and towns. There may also be flooding from heavy rainfall that is difficult to predict.

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。.

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。.
在經註冊電工或燃氣技師測試安全之前，請勿開啟電力或燃氣。.
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.

The information in this guide is current at the date of publication. While every effort has been taken to ensure the validity and accuracy of the data presented, the State Emergency Service does not take responsibility for data error or omission. Please see the standard Tasmanian Government’s Copyright and Disclaimer Statement for more details https://www.tas.gov.au/codi .

Mapping Note

The maps in this plan show data from the Tasmanian Strategic Flood Mapping (TSFM) project. You can explore this data with the Flood Hazard Data layers on www.thelist.tas.gov.au.

Clarence City Council has detailed flood studies for these areas, see https://www.ccc.tas.gov.au/living/your neighbourhood/flooding/. CCC data includes climate change projections, shows flooding at more shallow depths and therefore the flood extents are considerably different and generally larger, than the TSFM extents shown in the maps below. This data is based on rainfall averages from the past.
