Kingston Beach areas around Browns River can flood during high rainfall events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some areas along Whitewater Creek can also flood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coastal inundation can flood low-lying areas near the coast, during storm events especially at high tide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is often coastal storm surge at the same time as flooding from rivers, causing greater water levels near river mouths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See the Tasmanian Strategic Flood Maps<\/a> to view the flood maps in more detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2018 Southern Tasmania Extreme Weather Event caused considerable damage from stormwater runoff around Kingston, including the Kingston central business area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
