STORM TIDE
EVACUATION GUIDE
This guide is used to inform residents of predicted
storm tide flooding associated with a tropical cyclone
The Storm Tide Evacuation Guide has been made possible through funding provided under the Community Development and Recovery Package,
which is a joint initiative of the Australian and Queensland Governments under the Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements.

WHAT IS A STORM TIDE?
A storm tide is a rise above the normal water level along a shore that is the result of a tropical cyclone.
When a cyclone forms over open waters the strong winds pushing the water, combined with the low atmospheric pressure in
the eye of the cyclone cause the level of the sea to rise, which results in the formation of large waves.
If this happens away from land, the water can escape and move freely away from the building storm. As the cyclone moves
towards land and the depth of the water becomes shallower, the ever-increasing wall of water does not have a chance to flow
away. These large waves may inundate land and cause destructive damage to anything in its path.
Please note that inundation by storm tide is not comparable with riverine flooding. Storm tides will be accompanied by gale
force winds, with successive waves of seawater rapidly moving across the foreshore. Trees, building material and other debris
may be carried along by the storm tide. Any evacuation must occur prior to the storm tide event.
A storm tide event should not be confused with a tsunami. A tsunami is a series of waves generated by a sudden upward
movement of the ocean floor, normally due to earthquakes and is NOT related to a cyclonic event.

WHAT IS A CYCLONE?
A tropical cyclone is a violent collection of whirling winds and dense cloud mass. Winds spiral clockwise around a central eye of
exceptionally low pressure. With winds reaching speeds in excess of 200km/h, cyclones can be extremely dangerous.
WHAT ARE CYCLONE CATEGORIES?
The severity of a tropical cyclone is measured by a category determine by the Bureau of Meteorology.
Cyclone categories range from 1 for weaker cyclones to 5 for the most severe cyclones. This helps the community assess the
severity of the cyclone and take appropriate actions.
The category of a cyclone refers to the severity of winds in a maximum wind zone. You may not experience the effects of the
maximum winds. Damage experienced may vary according to location factors.
The category of a cyclone does not refer to an associated storm tide. Warnings for a storm tide will be issued separately by the
Bureau of Meteorology (BOM).
CYCLONE WATCH
A cyclone watch is issued at six hourly intervals if a cyclone or potential cyclone exists, and there is a likelihood gale force winds
or stronger will affect coastal or island communities within the next 24 to 48 hours.
CYCLONE WARNING
A cyclone warning is issued at three hourly intervals if gale force winds or stronger are expected to affect coastal or island
communities within the next 24 hours. Warnings are updated every hour when a cyclone is close to landfall. The Standard
Emergency Warning Signal (SEWS) may be used with some cyclone warnings.
SEVERE WEATHER WARNING
A severe weather warning may be issued if the system is no longer a cyclone but communities are still being threatened by
damaging winds, flooding rains or pounding seas.
CATEGORY STRONGEST GUST (km/h) TYPICAL EFFECTS
Less than 125 km/h Minimal house damage. Damage to some crops, trees and caravans.
1 Tropical Cyclone
Gales Boats may drag moorings.
125 - 164 km/h Minor house damage. Significant damage to signs, trees and caravans. Heavy
2 Tropical Cyclone
Destructive Winds damage to some crops. Risk of power failure. Small boats may break moorings.
3 Severe 165 - 224 km/h Some roof and structural damage. Some caravans destroyed. Power failure
Tropical Cyclone Very destructive winds likely.
4 Severe 225 - 279 km/h Significant roofing and structural damage. Many caravans destroyed and
Tropical Cyclone Very destructive winds blown away. Dangerous airborne debris. Widespread power failures.
5 Severe More than 280 km/h
Extremely dangerous with widespread destruction
Tropical Cyclone Extremely destructive winds

WHAT IF I AM IN AN EVACUATION ZONE?
If your property is located in an evacuation zone, you need to read this booklet. This important booklet also includes coloured
labels. Council suggests that you place one coloured label in your meter box and one under your kitchen sink. It is important to
understand what you need to do in the event of a storm tide.
Identify where your residence is located on the evacuation map and familiarise yourself with your evacuation zone and routes.
If you are in a red, orange, yellow or blue zone, there is a chance that your property may be inundated in a storm tide event. The
height of the predicted storm tide during the disaster event will determine which zones are affected.
If you are not located in a coloured zone, you are outside the storm tide inundation threat area.
HOW TO READ AND THE USE THE STORM TIDE EVACUATION MAPS
1. Identify where your residence is on the map.
2. If you are in one of the coloured zones, you may be at risk from storm tide flooding during cyclones.
3. Identify your evacuation route to your pre-determined safer location. For further information on evacuation visit council’s
website www.townsville.qld.gov.au.
4. During a cyclone event tune into warnings, authorities will advise which zones need to evacuate.
EVACUATION ZONES
RED EVACUATION ZONE - INDICATES AREAS AT HIGHEST RISK OF FLOODING FROM CYCLONE STORM TIDE.
ORANGE EVACUATION ZONE - INDICATES AREAS AT HIGH RISK OF FLOODING FROM CYCLONE STORM TIDE.
YELLOW EVACUATION ZONE - INDICATES AREAS AT MODERATE RISK OF FLOODING FROM CYCLONE STORM TIDE.
BLUE EVACUATION ZONE - INDICATES AREAS AT LOW RISK OF FLOODING FROM CYCLONE STORM TIDE.
WHAT DO STORM TIDE EVACUATION ZONES MEAN?
Residents in the Red Zone face the highest risk of inundation from a cyclone storm tide. The Red Zone includes low-lying coastal
areas and areas that may experience storm tide inundation up to approximately 1 metre above HAT.
Residents in the Orange Zone face a high risk of inundation from a cyclone storm tide. The Orange Zone may experience storm
tide inundation up to 1m above the top of the red zone (approximately 2 metres above HAT).
Residents in the Yellow Zone face a moderate risk of inundation from a cyclone storm tide. The Yellow Zone may experience
storm tide inundation at levels up to 2m above the top of the orange zone (approximately 2 to 4 metres above HAT).
Residents in the Blue Zone face a low risk of inundation from a cyclone storm tide. The Blue Zone may experience storm tide
inundation up to 2m above the top of the yellow zone (higher than approximately 4 metres above HAT).
WHAT IS HAT?
HAT stands for Highest Astronomical Tide. A HAT is comparable to a king tide. It is the highest level of water which can be
predicted to occur under any combination of astronomical conditions. BOM advices regarding storm tide will refer to a height
(in metres) above HAT. Council will use this BOM information to advise which zones may be affected.
WHAT IS AN EVACUATION SHELTER?
An evacuation shelter is a building, or part of a building, specifically designed and constructed to provide protection from wind
and debris during the passage of a severe tropical cyclone.
Evacuation shelters are a safe place that will allow for seating and may not necessarily be capable of accommodating persons
for extended periods.
Where possible, evacuees should be encouraged to seek shelter with family and friends in higher places outside the at risk area.
If you are self evacuating and not be staying within a public shelter building, please register your location via the National
Registration and Inquiry System available on the Australian Red Cross website (N.B. this will be activated at the time of the pending
disaster).
