Step 2. Monitor Flood Warnings

All Queenslanders should be familiar with official flood warnings to be able to seek information, make decisions and act.

For flood warnings, the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) uses data and information captured by the various types of flood warning infrastructure. Other
sources include local radio and social media.

The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) is Australia's national weather and climate agency. The following links will keep you up to date on BOM weather
warnings issued for Queensland and for access to local radars so you can see what's coming your way.

Step 3. Leave Early

Noosa Hinterland during extended weather events can flood blocking offs roads and access. These events are usual short lived depending on location and
the severity of weather. In our section of Six-mile creek flooding can occur after numerous days of heavy rain and after long periods of wet weather. The

areas of the site will also be inundated during minor to moderate flood events. The best course of action during long wet periods where creek levels are
rising would be to cancel accommodation early and for current guests to vacate early. Early vacation will also be recommended where a BOM has provided
advanced warning of a minor flood event in the Six Mile Creek catchment. Vacation would be via Evans Road as illustrated on the Evacuation Map, which is
