The ACT State Emergency Service (ACTSES) has designed an innovative ‘Flood Table’ to help Canberrans better understand and prepare for flood risks.

Built in partnership with the Belconnen Men’s Shed to support community education and disaster preparedness, the Flood Table is an interactive tool designed by the ACTSES and funded through the Australian Government’s NEMA Disaster Ready Fund.

The Flood Table provides a three-dimensional visualisation of how floods develop and impact local areas, helping people better understand risks to themselves and others.

Minister for Police, Fire and Emergency Services Dr Marisa Paterson welcomed the partnership between the two organisations to help strengthen disaster resilience.

“This project highlights the strength of local collaboration, bringing together ACT SES operational expertise with the craftsmanship and community spirit of the Belconnen Men’s Shed. Together, they have created a practical and engaging resource that supports problem solving, preparedness and a more resilient ACT community.”
