Flood imagery and data
For current flood events, check the Bureau of Meteorology website or the relevant local government disaster hub.
For property level flood mapping and data we strongly recommend you contact the relevant local council.
Past flood imagery and data can be used to improve economic and community resilience to extreme weather events. Our program of flood imagery and other associated spatial data helps with recovery activities and future planning.
Flood imagery and data is available to view in the Queensland Globe and the spatial data files can be downloaded from QSpatial via the links below.
