Cyclone Watch and Act 4C.1 Cyclone Watch and Act 4C.1 Students to explore tropical cyclone Engage Cyclone Watch and Act weather, warning systems and tropical cyclone risk to communities. In the event of a tropical cyclone approaching the Western Australian coast, the Department of Fire and Emergency Services issues colour coded alerts – and , to provide warnings and advice to communities in the cyclone’s path. The Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) is an Australian government organisation that provides forecasts, warnings, weather observations and advice to the Australian community. Australia's area of responsibility for cyclone services is divided between three Tropical Cyclone Warning Centres (TCWCs): Perth, Darwin and Brisbane. A tropical cyclone watch is issued for coastal communities when the onset of gales is expected within 48 hours, but not within 24 hours. A tropical cyclone warning is issued for coastal communities when the onset of gales is expected within 24 hours, or are already occurring. These centres use weather stations, reports from observers in ships, aircraft, offshore oilrigs and on- land observers, satellite and radar imagery to detect cyclones and to confirm their location, intensity and to track their progress. Once a cyclone is within 250 kilometres of Western Australia it is tracked by radars located along the coastline. Its track can be monitored by one of BoM’s weather watch radars at Wyndham, Broome, Port Hedland, Karratha, Dampier, Learmonth or Carnarvon. BoM will issue a Tropical Cyclone Advice and a Forecast Track Map to indicate where the cyclone is, where it is forecast to go, how intense it is likely to be and which communities are under threat. A tropical cyclone can change direction therefore, a much larger region than the actual area affected is warned so communities will be prepared. Objective: Students explore how tracking, predicting, and warning communities about tropical cyclone can lesson risks to communities. Cyclone Watch and Act - Warning Systems • Students visit the DFES website here to identify the agencies who advise communities when and how to prepare for cyclones. (Cyclone Watch and Act 4C.2) • Introduce students to the BoM website’s tropical cyclone warning services http://www.bom.gov.au/cyclone/. As a class discuss the difference between a tropical cyclone watch and a tropical cyclone warning. (Cyclone Watch and Act 4C.2) • Students use the DFES website (www.dfes.wa.gov.au) for information on the cyclone warning system and find the Alerts & Warnings page to check for any current tropical cyclone alerts or warnings. Use the BoM website (www.bom.gov.au) to (i) record any current active cyclones and, (ii) a cyclone which has moved through Western Australia. Students record relevant information. (Cyclone Watch and Act 4C.3) • Students access the BoM website: ‘Forecasting the weather’ to plot a cyclone track. Discuss how people and communities can benefit from weather forecasting. How helpful is a Forecast Track Map for communities? (Cyclone Watch and Act 4C.4) • Watch the news videos of Tropical Cyclone Lua (Tropical Cyclone News 3) or Tropical Cyclone Rusty (Tropical Cyclone News 4) and use the information to write a radio Community Service Announcement. Include DFES alerts, weather warnings and cyclone information to advise the community how to prepare before the arrival of the cyclone. • Home activity: Survey one or two adults in your household, record responses to information about weather advice, BoM cyclone advice and DFES cyclone alerts. As a class, compare and discuss the completed surveys.

Use the questions below to prepare your own answer sheet. You will find the correct responses on the DFES website. Ask one or two adults in your family to take the Home Survey to find out what they know about tropical cyclone weather advice, weather warnings and community alerts.

ALLAnswers CLEAR Which two BoM warning services provide information when a cyclone or damaging gales and winds are expected between 48 and 24 hours? 48 hours – Cyclone Watch 24 hours – Cyclone Warning The Standard Emergency Warning Signal (SEWS) is a community alert issued if there is a threat of extreme danger. An Emergency Alert will display a caller identification 0444 444 444. The warning will provide important information about the emergency in your location and what your family should do to stay safe. Cyclone Alerts and Warnings 4C.3 BoM – Bureau of Meteorology Forecasting the Weather 4C.4 Community alerts will be issued by DFES when a cyclone is coming and when damaging winds or gales are likely to affect communities within 24 hours. Forecast Track Maps are very helpful for communities as they show the current movement of a cyclone and where it is likely to head in the future. The map includes information about the gale force, storm force and the possible size of hurricane force winds and where they are likely to go. If the cyclone is approaching the coast, cyclone Watch and Warning zones will be highlighted. Forecast Track Maps are updated every six hours and more frequently if a cyclone Watch or Warning is current.

Key words: catchment function analysis; catchment management; DeGrey; Google mapping. Introduction The importance of understanding the main components of landscapes, and the interrelationships among them, is rising with the threat of significant impacts of climate change and the persistent pressure to lift agricultural productivity while preserving or enhancing ecosystems. Adroit observation of subsystem interactions and the use of new knowledge to scale them up to relevant systems levels will be central to progress in this domain. This paper reports such an approach.
