Longford Community Flood Guide and Launceston Levee Protected Areas Community Flood Guides now available

Flooding can cause widespread and significant damage, and it is important for all Tasmanians to be aware of any flood risk that might exist where they live, visit, own property, or work.

SES is working with the local community at high risk of flooding to develop Community Protection Flood Plans and guides.

The Longford Community Flood Guide and the Launceston Levee Protected Areas Community Flood Guides are now available.

These guides provide advice for Longford, Launceston (City and East Launceston, and Margaret Street areas), Invermay and Newstead community members and visitors on:

  • local flood risks
  • flood warning arrangements
  • actions they can take before, during, and after a flood to keep safe and minimise risks.

Residents in flood-prone areas are encouraged to prepare a Home Emergency Plan and Home Emergency Kit.
