Much like the devastating flooding and bushfires that mainland Australia has experienced in recent years, the June 11 storm could be the result of a changing climate.

Although it is difficult to directly connect individual weather events to climate change, TasNetworks and the Tasmanian Farmers and Graziers Association believe preventing runaway climate change is key in mitigating the potential damage of similar storms in the future.

TFGA president Ian Sauer said the damage seen across farms in the Kentish municipality was unprecedented, but will likely happen again.

"It could happen again this winter," Mr Sauer said.

"Plantations were flattened, silos were tipped over.

"Even centre pivots were tipped over.

"These storm events seem to be happening more and more.

"And I think it will continue."

Mr Sauer said the TFGA had been assisting the Kentish Council and TasNetworks to clean up damage on farms and restore power.

TasNetworks CEO Sean McGoldrick said he really appreciated "how strongly that relationship functioned over those difficult days".

He also said that the damage of the June 11 storm was the worst "in decades".

At one point 20,000 customers were without power across the northern half of Tasmania.

And although power grids were vulnerable to storm damage the world over, there was only so much damage prevention that could be built in to the network.

"Our regular maintenance and upgrades help strengthen and protect assets that might otherwise also go down in a storm," he said.

"Beyond that, you can only prevent or limit the damage by preventing or limiting the storms (number and severity).

"To that extent, climate mitigation plays a role."

Mr Sauer said that after all the region's farms are brought back online, the TFGA will be working with members to compile ideas about how to respond to storm events in the future.

He said he wanted to find out exactly how TFGA members were affected by the storm, what their frustrations were, and how to improve the response the next time a storm hits.
