Rapid impact assessment crews from the SES and the Tasmania Fire Service are undertaking assessments and capturing visual data to show the impact of the “major flood event”.

A remote-piloted aircraft will also be used over Hobart’s CBD to gain insight into the significance of the event.
“We understand that people are still feeling the effects of the severe weather event, and recognise that the recovery will take some time,” Mr Smith said.
