Cassowary Coast
Flood Awareness Website
Welcome to the Cassowary Coast Regional Council
Community Flood Awareness Website. This website is an
initiative to help mitigate the social, economic and
human impacts of flooding through raised awareness
and preparedness of the community and forms part of the
Johnstone River Floodplain Management Plan*
This Plan has been designed to increase community
awareness of areas at risk of flooding and the damage
that flooding can potentially cause. The Plan can be
used as a guide in determining whether an area of
interest is prone to flooding and if so, the level of
flooding that could potentially occur.
Are you, your family and workplace prepared for
flooding?

Using the information supplied on the website as a
guide is the first step you can take to minimise the
impact a flood could have on you.
If your area of interest is included in the flood
study, the flood map can show you if where you live,
work or shop could be prone to flooding. If it is,
you can follow the links on this website to find out
about how you can prepare and protect yourself, your
family and your home.
