Flood Height & Extent Data
Tablelands Regional Council is asking the community to watch and record flood heights and extents.
They are particularly interested in unprecedented water levels.
This data will be captured to improve the flood mapping and mitigation in the region.
Peak water levels give the most useful data and can be collected during or immediately after flooding.
If it is safe you can record the levels by:
- taking photos and videos
- marking water heights on walls, power poles or other infrastructure.
- marking water extent marks on the ground
- looking for trapped debris
- recording anecdotal evidence from others
- photographing flood markers.
Ensure the marks are semi-permanent as it may be some time before TRC can attend.
The information can be provided to disastermanagement@trc.qld.gov.au.
Include day, time and exact location details in the email.
