Concerns mount as Brisbane evacuates during severe floods
3 min read
Kia ora whanau. We have been receiving numerous calls from whanau and friends that Brisbane is being evacuated due to rising flood waters. Residents in low lying areas are being told to get to higher ground as storms dump up to 70mm an hour in some places further east.
“All members of the community who live or are currently near the Brisbane River at West End are advised to move to higher ground,” Queensland police said in a statement.
“There are 80 suburbs that will be impacted one way or another,” he said, from upstream communities such as Tennyson and Sherwood, to places like Windsor and Albion.
Police have expanded an evacuation alert for communities around Toowoomba, after deadly waves of water swept through the city and the nearby Lockyer Valley at the foot of the Toowoomba range.
Police said all low-lying residents to the east, south and west of Toowoomba must get to higher ground immediately, along with low-lying residents in the Lockyer Valley.
“Those people should take immediate action to save precious personal effects, family records, family artefacts, items of furniture,” he said, and consider self-evacuation said Lord Mayor Campbell Newman says.
Mr Newman said the 6500 homes and businesses expected to experience direct, “significant” flooding would affect 14,900 people.
An evacuation centre has been set up at the RNA Showgrounds at Bowen Hills and is now open for flood-affected residents.
Brisbane, a city of two million people, is the capital of northern Queensland state, which has been hit over the past three weeks by its worst flooding in at least 50 years.
Mr Newman said the disaster management group was planning for 3500 evacuees in Brisbane. He said a further 16,500 properties would be partially affected by flooding.
He says the next few days will see a large-scale disaster unfolding across the city, ahead of an expected peak in the Brisbane River on Thursday.
“Do not stay in your homes, please leave immediately,” police said.
Nineteen people have died in the floods including eight swept to their deaths by flash floods on Monday.
Fifteen New Zealand Civil Defence workers have been working in the Queensland town of Condamine, 360km west of Brisbane, but were forced to move late last night because rising waters threatened their campsite.
Kiwis in Queensland
The Australian High Commission in New Zealand has been fielding calls from concerned Australians and New Zealanders, including people who can’t get hold of their families.
The New Zealand Government says it’s looking to see what more New Zealand can do to help.
“We want to help the people of Queensland,” Duty Minister Judith Collins said. “They are our very near neighbours and are people who’ve come to our aid in the past.”
New Zealand’s Red Cross confirmed this afternoon it’s sending a three-person management team to join their Australian counterparts.
The team will be briefed in Wellington and is expected to fly to Australia in 48 hours.
“We’re sending some of our emergency management staff to boost Australian Red Cross coordination capacity after the dramatic worsening of the situation since yesterday,” said New Zealand Red Cross International operations manager Andrew McKie.
“The team will perform management functions to support Australian Red Cross emergency coordination.”
New Zealand Red Cross’ team is expected to spend 10 days at the Australian Red Cross coordination centre in Brisbane, with possible rotation of fresh staff.
Meanwhile, Red Cross is directing offers of donations to the Queensland Premier’s Disaster Response Appeal .
“We’re encouraging people to donate cash to the established Queensland premier fund rather than goods because it means the right aid can be given more quickly and can often be bought locally to support economic recovery,” said McKie.
The Queensland Police Hotline for enquiries about Australiancitizensis 0061 1300 993 191.
Kiwis wanting to know about New Zealanders in the area should first call the New Zealand Foreign Affairs Ministry on 04 439 8000.
I have to admit that overall I’m incredibly taken with this website. Its apparent you are aware you subject material and you are excited about it. If only I had created got your skill to jot down. Concerning bookmarked internet page and look forward to more updates.
From FB: "I have two mokopuna, both in their 20's that moved to Goodna town a flood stricken area a few months ago. Stranger's that they are last I heard Renata had gone with the men of the district to help out. Lots of work coming up for our whanau and for these young ones, unemployed in NZ, bored and vulnerable this experience with be character building. I would like to think both are employed and grow in that experience rather than become a dependent on a social welfare grant."

Motorists ignore travel warnings
http://www.warwickdailynews.com.au/story/2011/01/…
DESPITE the tragic loss of life in Toowoomba and Ipswich, motorists around the Rose City are continuing to flout police and SES advice to avoid unnecessary travel and stay away from flooded roads.
In the midst of what was tipped to be the biggest flood on record for Warwick, drivers were seen ignoring “Road Closed” signs to take pictures at Hemmings Bridge and a consistent convoy of cars passed through east Warwick where floodwaters continued to rise.
A four-wheel drive was even seen heading directly into floodwaters at the end of Canning Street before turning around and driving in the other direction after being approached by an SES truck.
Southern Downs Mayor Ron Bellingham said he was well aware of the issue and understood the interest but was disappointed people were ignoring the warnings.
“I know it’s an unusual event but I wish people would stay away, it’s certainly adding to the problems, it’s taking up the time of the emergency services and causing problems with people trying to get out and move things,” he said.
“I certainly encourage people to get in and help where they can but not sightsee.”
“People’s safety is of paramount importance.”
The SES said cars ignoring road signs was a police issue but agreed it was extremely dangerous and unnecessary driving should be avoided.
Warwick Police Constable Jade Flemming said there was no excuse for ignoring road signs.
“People have been going through ‘Road Closed’ signs, that’s an offence, whether it’s to take photos or not, it’s ticketable,” Const Flemming said.
Main Roads Minister Craig Wallace pleaded with people to stay off the roads.
“We’ve got numerous road closures across south-east Queensland with more to come,” he said.
“But even if roads are open and safe we need to keep them clear for police, emergency service vehicles, road repair crews and people who may need to evacuate. It’s not the time for sightseeing.”
Mr Wallace said it was impossible to stop the damage caused by flooding but drivers could help reduce the damage by not driving across vulnerable stretches of road. For the latest road closures information across Queensland visit http://www.131940.qld.gov.au.
At time of printing last night, Leslie Dam was overflowing at the rate of 60,000 megalitres per day – more than half its total capacity – and all seven gates were open at 800mm.
Water woes also hit the towns of Killarney and Wallangarra, as floodwater prevented the operation of water treatment plants in both towns.
Meanwhile, the Warwick and Condamine medical centres were looking empty yesterday with many cancelled appointments and shortages of staff due to the worsening flood conditions.
Warwick Medical Centre practice manager Barbara
Hannon said the centre had expectant mothers worried as they weren’t sure if they could get through to any major hospitals, some who may even need caesareans.
“We personally haven’t been affected by the floods but we’ve had a lot of cancellations; about half of our appointments have been cancelled,” Mrs Hannon said.
Condamine Medical Centre practice manager Debbie Andersen said she had lost all but one of her nursing staff, two doctors, three receptionists and 70 to 80 per cent of patients who could not make their appointments yesterday.
Thankfully however, both medical centres seemed to be coping as the shortages in staff tended to equate close to the number of cancellations the centres had.
“We’re fine…we’ve got little to complain about really,” Ms Andersen said.
The outlook is better for the next few days with rain easing into showers today. A few showers are expected tomorrow and Friday before clearing over the weekend.
Latest river heights:
Condamine River at Warwick was 8.05m and rising at 5.30pm.
Condamine River at Elbow Valley was 6.78m and steady, at 5.08pm.
Condamine River at Murrays Bridge was 8.9m and falling, at 5.56pm.
Glengallan Creek at Backwater Creek was 4.75m and rising at 5.55pm.
WHANAU UPDATE: Our houses are completely under water. Most of us are safe and sound, waiting it out in Forest Lake. We are keeping regular contact with the rest of the whanau stuck in the affected areas except for those without electricity…
