Due to the rapid catchment response, flooding can develop quickly during rain events, causing serious impacts in the town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What You Need to Know<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Flooding can cut off parts of Railton. It may be hard to leave or get help for some time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Floodwaters might divide the town. It may be difficult to reach evacuation centres or essential services.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It may not be easy to move emergency supplies and sandbags once flooding starts and roads become cut.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If flooding is likely, residents should take action early, such as sandbagging and moving to safety.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There may be no warnings issued for flash flooding<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Could Flooding Happen?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Flash flooding can happen with little warning, especially after heavy or ongoing rain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flash flooding may begin 2 to 6 hours after significant rain. &nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Is Most at Risk?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>People living in low-lying areas or near Redwater Creek.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Residents who have moved to Railton more recently and may not be familiar with local flood risks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Older residents or those who need help with daily activities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to Act<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You should act if the following rainfall is recorded at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bom.gov.au\/products\/IDT60801\/IDT60801.94955.shtml\">Sheffield School Farm weather station<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>20mm in 30 minutes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>38mm in 1 hour<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>50mm in 3 hours<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Railton\u2019s past history of flooding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Railton has a history of significant flooding, including in 1876, 1894, 1929, 1970, 1973, 2011 and 2016. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2011 flood was similar in magnitude to an event with an Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) of approximately 1%, meaning it has about a 1 in 100 chance of occurring in any given year. This event inundated 60 houses and 14 businesses, and caused widespread disruption to roads and streets throughout the town. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In past floods, people from Railton have been trapped by flood waters in their cars and on their house roofs. Flooding of Redwater Creek in Railton often occurs at the same time as flooding of other water courses in the area, including the Mersey River and the Dasher River. This means that the roads between Railton and other towns such as Sheffield and Latrobe can be flooded and damaged. Emergency Services from other towns may not be able to access Railton in a flood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"642\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/d2tv960yzi0spr.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Railton-flooding-image-2016-source-WMA-Water.jpg\" alt=\"Images of Railton in flood 2016 (source: WMA water)\" class=\"wp-image-10281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2tv960yzi0spr.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Railton-flooding-image-2016-source-WMA-Water.jpg 642w, https:\/\/d2tv960yzi0spr.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Railton-flooding-image-2016-source-WMA-Water-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 642px) 100vw, 642px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Image: Railton in flood 2016 (source: WMA Water)<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Riverine flooding information for Redwater Creek Version 2.1 January 2026 &#8211; PDF version To see the maps in more detail,&nbsp;see the Tasmanian Strategic Flood Maps.
