Randwick

Flood, storm and tsunami (natural hazards) can happen at any time in NSW. It is important to be aware of the risks in your area to help you to plan, prepare, respond and recover effectively. Understanding past and potential future hazards in your area helps you to make informed decisions that can reduce the impact on individuals, families, businesses and communities.

The local information page provides valuable resources for your Local Government Area (LGA). You can explore flood information for your local river catchment through Local Flood Insights, access local flood plans and guides, and connect with local councils and NSW SES units.

Tsunami

The New South Wales coastline may be impacted by tsunami, a series of powerful waves. 

While the likelihood of a land-threat tsunami on the east coast of Australia is low, consequences of a tsunami can be devastating as witnessed in Indonesia in 2004 and Japan in 2011.

There have been over 50 recorded tsunami events on the Australian coastline since European settlement. We are more likely to experience marine and immediate foreshore threat tsunami than a land inundation threat tsunami. 

Early evacuation could help protect many people. Visit the Tsunami page for more information about tsunami risks.

Visit the Tsunami evacuation map page to view maps showing evacuation areas in the event of a land-threat tsunami.
