Cassowary Coast
Flood Awareness Website
Welcome to the Cassowary Coast Regional Council Community Flood Awareness Website. This website is an initiative of the Johnstone Shire River Improvement Trust and forms part of the Johnstone River Floodplain Management Plan to help mitigate the social, economic and human impacts of flooding through raised awareness and preparedness of the community.
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.
This project has been jointly funded by the Commonwealth Government, State and Local Government through the Department of Local Government Sport & Recreation's Regional Flood Mitigation Programme.
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.
