  • Flood Intelligence: What It Is, Why It Matters and How It Is Generated – Lessons from Lockhart and Urana Shire Floods 2010-2012
    Floodplain Management Association National Conference 28-31 May 2013 Tweed Heads NSW FLOOD INTELLIGENCE: WHAT IT IS, WHY IT MATTERS AND HOW IT IS GENERATED – LESSONS FROM LOCKHART AND URANA SHIRE FLOODS 2010-2012 M Morgan1 S Yeo2, M Walsh3 1 NSW State Emergency Service, Wollongong, NSW 2 Independent flood risk management consultant, Sydney, NSW 3 Inland Flood Unit, Office of Environment and Heritage, Sydney, NSW Abstract Flood intelligence seeks to describe flood behaviour and its effects on the community. The NSW State Emergency Service (NSW SES) flood intelligence system includes a flood intelligence database, Local Flood Plans, a reference library and associated spatial data. Reliable intelligence is vital for informed decision-making during flood emergencies to minimise risks to the community. Data collection following flooding is a means both for generating new flood intelligence to improve future emergency response and for informing the floodplain management process. Between 2010 and 2012, many communities in South Western NSW experienced the highest floods in decades, if not on record. This provided an ideal opportunity to collect flood data. A case study from Lockhart and Urana Shires shows the benefits of this exercise both for an improved flood intelligence leading to an improved flood response and for input into Flood Studies and Floodplain Risk Management Studies and Plans. Strengths and weaknesses of the various sources of flood data including community questionnaires are outlined. Introduction Between September 2010 and March 2012, areas in South Western NSW experienced record rainfall, associated with a strong La Niña episode which resulted in extensive and frequent flooding through to May 2012.

    3.79 31 Field Notes on the Black Falcon By GEORGE W. BEDGGOOD, Lindenow South, Victoria, 3866. Because of the dearth of published records for Falco subniger in Victoria and southern New South Wales, I have summarised all my observations from 1955 to 1978. Wheeler ( 1967) lists it as "rather rare" but records it for all districts of Victoria. Although a bird of the drier inland plains, its nomadic wanderings may result in unexpected appearances outside its normal range. Factors affecting a regular food supply, such as drought, no doubt are responsible for such movements. Because its non-hunting flight is so "crow-like" it could easily be mistaken as "a corvid". The dark sooty-brown plumage which appears black, particularly when the bird is some distance from the observer, or when seen in silhouette, its similar size and general outline could all contribute to mistaken identification. When hunting, its flight is typically falcon-like, swift and calculated. Due to its size and lack of pattern in the plumage it ought not be confused with any other falcon. Between September 1955 and December 1956 I was able to record the species at Jindera, N.S.W., and in Victoria at Bonegilla and Corryong. The Jindera bird was my first experience with the Black Falcon. A farmer travelling in the car and knowing my interest in birds remarked that a pair had been seen frequently in the district. Approaching Jindera we flushed a bird from a telephone post. The farmer immediately identified it as a Black Falcon. It flapped and glided to a windbreak some distance away, its flight no different to that of the many corvids we had passed since leaving Albury.
