Request for pictures and videos of the flood
Published on 11 May 2018
We are asking community members to share with us their images of the flood.
We plan as much as we possibly can for severe flooding and rainfall events, however a lot of our data is theoretical. We are hoping to use this week's weather events to help us be even more prepared in the future.
If you have any photos or videos of the flood, especially of flood peaks, damage and debris left behind by the floods, please email them to us at coh@hobartcity.com.au, marked 'stormwater research'.
The images will be used to inform current and future hydraulic flood models and flood studies using real data.
*Hydraulic models are mathematical computer programs that help us estimate water levels and flood extents for rivers, watercourses, and piped stormwater systems.
