For longer term access to Waze API, please refer to the Waze CCP. There are a number of agencies that have signed up to Waze CCP, and there might be an option to sub-license the feed to you.

Along with other jurisdictions in Australia, the ACT is moving toward national best practice in flood risk management. This is the most comprehensive review of Canberra’s catchments and their associated flood risk to date. A 1% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) flood is a flood which has a 1% chance of occurring in any year. This means that if you experienced a 1% AEP flood last year, the chance of experiencing a similar flood this year is still 1%.It used to be known as 1 in 100 year flood, but this term is misleading as it suggests such a flood will only occur once every 100 years.See more about riverine flooding in the Australian Capital Territory - https://www.environment.act.gov.au/water/riverine-flood-maps.See some frequently asked questions and answers relating to flooding - https://www.environment.act.gov.au/water/riverine-flood-maps/flood-risk-and-flood-map-information.Floodplain data on this website: 1.

Flood extents were derived from the review and published on ACTmapi and the Geospatial Data Catalogue. The data comprises data from the studies below.StudyDate CompletedEast Lake Pond and Lake Symonston Feasibility Study2012Ginninderra Creek Flood Study and Dam Assessment2015Jerrabomberra Creek Flood Study2005Molonglo Catchments and Scrivener Dam Flood Hydrology Review2011Sullivans Creek Flood Study and Kenny Stormwater PSP Design2015Tuggeranong Creek Flood Study2014Weston Creek Flood Study2015Woolshed Creek Flood Study (SALR PSP and Spitfire Avenue)2014/2016Yarralumla Creek and Long Gully Flood Study2015

This dataset provides flood inundation extent and duration for the Fitzroy catchment in Western Australia for the flood events of 2001, 2002, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2011 and 2014. The data are in raster format. The values in the raster file shows the duration of inundation (days) during an event. The following are the start and end time for each flood.

Lineage: These data were generated from hydrodynamic modelling (MIKE21 model) results. Model outputs were processed in ArcGIS. Inundation extent/ duration was estimated by accumulating six hourly model outputs for the simulation period of 40 days. The data represent number of days each computational grid (30m x 30m) was inundated during the entire simulation period.

This dataset is available on Brisbane City Council’s open data website – data.brisbane.qld.gov.au. The site provides additional features for viewing and interacting with the data and for downloading the data in various formats.

This dataset, created in June 2013, provides an indication of the likelihood of a flood occurring from overland flow inside the Brisbane City Council local government area. This layer contributes to the overall Flood Awareness Mapping for Brisbane City Council.

Overland flow is excess rainfall that runs across the land after rain before it enters an underground drainage system or a creek/waterway. Overland flow can also rise to the surface naturally from underground or also as a result of creek/waterway bank failure. Overland flow flooding tends to affect localised areas rather than the whole city at once. Overland flow can probably be considered the most frequent type of flooding in Brisbane.

Overland flow tends to occur during high rainfall events. It travels across the land following low-lying, natural drainage paths. Such flooding may occur when underground drainage system exceeds capacity. Overland flow flooding can be unpredictable and occur without warning.

You can identify overland flow by looking at how water may flow across the land around your property. Consider these natural flows when you are looking to renovate, build a fence or put in a shed.

There are three different overland flow flooding impact areas in Flood Awareness Map, namely High, Medium and Low.

The overland flow High impact layer consists of H5 and H6* hazard zones during a 5% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) (20 year Average Recurrence Interval (ARI)) flood event. The flood data was sourced from the Citywide Creek and Overland Flow Path mapping study (GHD, 2017).

The overland flow Medium impact layer consists of H3, H4, H5 and H6* hazard zones during a 2% AEP (50 year ARI) flood event (outside high impact area). The flood data was sourced from the Citywide Creek and Overland Flow Path mapping study (GHD, 2017).

The overland flow Low impact layer consists of H2, H3, H4, H5 and H6* hazard zones during a 1% AEP (100 year ARI) flood event (outside high and medium impact areas). The flood data was sourced from the Citywide Creek and Overland Flow Path mapping study (GHD, 2017).

* Hazard ranges from H1 to H6 and is based on the flood hazard, depth and velocity vulnerability thresholds. For more information, refer to Australian Disaster Resilience Guideline 7-3 Flood Hazard (AIDR 2017).

Flood inundation maps for the Fitzroy catchment in Western Australia for the baseline, dry and wet climate scenarios Lineage: These data were generated from hydrodynamic modelling (MIKE21 model) results. These are grid based (30m x 30m) inundation depth at 6-hourly time interval. Flood events were simulated for 40 days irrespective of their magnitude to ensure complete recession of each flood. Model outputs were processed in ArcGIS. Inundation extent and duration were estimated by accumulating six hourly model outputs for the simulation period of 40 days. The data represent number of days each computational grid was inundated during the entire simulation period.

This dataset is available on Brisbane City Council’s open data website – data.brisbane.qld.gov.au. The site provides additional features for viewing and interacting with the data and for downloading the data in various formats.

This dataset, created in September 2022, represents the 2022 flood extent inside the Brisbane City Council local government area.

This layer contributes to the historic Flood Awareness Map.

The Feb 2022 Creek and River flood extent has been generated by Brisbane City Council and does not include the potential overland flow flooding.

Research on the health impacts resulting from climate change is growing. The majority of climate change and public health literature has focused on defining vulnerabilities based on past flood and heat wave events in Europe, Australia, and the United States. To date, very little has been reported on the actual health impacts resulting from extreme weather events in the Pacific Islands. Recent reports on the region address the potential health impacts through modeling, but very few studies have looked at the actual human impacts that follow an extreme weather event. This paper describes the direct and indirect health impacts that followed a deadly flash flood event in an urban Pacific Island city, Honiara, Solomon Islands.
