Flooding information for communities from Elizabeth Town to Port Sorell and surrounds

 Version 1.0 January 2026

若要更詳細地查看地圖，, 查看塔斯馬尼亞策略性洪水圖.

If the Rubicon River has a major flood, low lying areas near the river can flood. Floodwater can cut roads such as

• Bass Highway near Elizabeth Town
• Port Sorell Road, and
• Local streets like Rice Street and Seabreeze Avenue in several places.

If there is heavy local rain, other areas can also have flash flooding from local waterways such as

• Panatana Rivulet
• Pardoe Creek, and
• Franklin Rivulet.

In a flash flood, you cannot rely on flood warnings from rivers, only forecasts for heavy rain or severe weather. Higher than usual tides and storms may also increase the risk of flooding in lower lying areas surrounding the Port Sorell waterway.

The maps in this guide show the level of flooding that has a 1% chance of happening any year. 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.

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

Listen to ABC local radio 91.7FM for warnings and advice.

您有洪水風險嗎？

The Rubicon River has a history of flooding with flooding impacts seen as recently as 2022.

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。.
• 準備一份居家緊急計畫。考慮是否需要在大水來臨前撤離。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。.
• 如果你可能被隔離且必須取得服務，你可能需要提早撤離。.

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 可能會在某個區域出現。從發布預警到豪雨發生的時間，可能從一小時到二十四小時不等。.

Whenever rain that may lead to flooding along the Rubicon River is expected, the Bureau may issue a Flood Watch – a “heads up” early advice of forecast weather that may lead to flooding.

SES and the Bureau are unlikely to be able to issue specific local warnings when flooding impacts are observed in this area. There are no formal warning levels for other waterways in the area.

雨量觀測 at Deloraine Railway Bridge, Kimberley and Devonport Airport 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.

Rainfall may start impacting the area at the following thresholds:

• 25-30mm rainfall in 1 hour
• 90-145mm rainfall over 12-24 hours
• 160-230mm rainfall over 48-72hrs

Abnormally high tides may also cause flooding in low-lying coastal areas around the Port Sorell waterway near the mouth of the Rubicon River.

這 West Takone 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.

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。.

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.

Minor to Moderate Flooding

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. Areas close to the shoreline may see some higher levels of flooding during higher tides.

中度洪水

There is more extensive flooding of agricultural land and some buildings may be impacted to above floor height. Some properties may be isolated for a few hours as minor roads become flooded. For example, some properties may see flooding at:

• Port Sorell:
• Highwater Lane, Seahorse Lane and Rice Street.
• The Port Sorell Caravan park may begin to flood
• Hawley Beach:
• Sankey St
• Hawley St.

嚴重洪水

If there is major flooding along the Rubicon River and other waterways, there may be flooding in low-lying areas close to the river. That level of flooding is approximately the level of the 2011, 2016 and 2022 floods and there is about a 5% chance of such a flood happening any year.  Tasmanians need to be prepared for floods that have a 1% chance of happening every year. 

Depending on where the rain falls and the level of soil saturation, this level of flooding is likely to:

• Flood some properties in low lying areas near the Rubican River, such as areas of Port Sorell and Shearwater.
• Close several roads in the area, including the Bass Highway, Port Sorell Road and other local roads isolating surrounding properties
• Isolate several parts of the community including parts of the Bakers Beach area, Narawntapu National Park, Harford and Frankford
• Flooding can impact Devonport Airport operations.

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

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。. 

• 塔斯警報 
• 您當地的 ABC 電台 或
• 這 氣象局 網站.

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

• RSPCA 應對緊急情況動物的指南
• Huon Valley Council’s advice on preparing an emergency pet plan
• 這 主要生產者農場洪水準備工具箱.

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

這些地圖顯示了跨流域的持續降雨量所造成的潛在洪水風險，例如 1% 年超越機率 (AEP)。在洪水事件中，降雨量在流域內的分布可能更不均勻，因此這些洪水地圖僅供參考。已繪製的洪水風險區域顯示淹水機率較高。其他區域的淹水機率較低，但在嚴重且罕見的事件（機率低於 1% AEP）中，其他較低的區域也可能面臨淹水風險。.
