Melbourne Water is updating flood maps for the Moorabool area to better identify locations at risk of flooding.
A flood model is a computer model that simulates the flow of water through drains and waterways. It uses historical flood data and modern mapping technology to accurately predict where flooding might happen now and in the future. Flood models identify which areas are most likely to flood, how quickly, and how deep the water may get. They don’t create flood risk, but help us better understand the risk that Moorabool faces, now and in the future.
You don’t have to wait for new flood information to find out how to prepare for a flood.
It’s important for everyone to be prepared, no matter where you live or if you’ve been impacted by floods before:
- The VICSES website has actions you can take to prepare for a flood.
- Melbourne Water's planning and building information has guidance if you’re renovating or redeveloping property in a flood-affected area.
