And now Office of the Inspector-General of Emergency Management in QLD has issued report into the state's 2023-24 disaster response with some poor feedback for the Bureau of Meteorology. Some councils shift blame, but this is structural and repeated for the BoM. www.igem.qld.gov.au/sites/defaul...
Bureau of Meteorology information Numerous councils and practitioners raised concerns about the flood forecast information they received from the Bureau, including its timing, accuracy and relevance to local areas. Some attributed this to a lack of local knowledge and understanding. The LGAQ summarised the feedback it received from local governments, stating that ‘during the tropical cyclones, tropical lows and heavy rainfall events, councils raised the lack of local knowledge of the catchments and weather patterns created delays in planning and subsequently the ability to issue timely warnings’. One local government practitioner in northern Queensland said they called the Queensland office of the Bureau late at night to ask about the likelihood of a local river flooding, when they became concerned by the amount of rain in the area after Tropical Cyclone Jasper. The practitioner said they were told no flooding was expected, and they asked the Bureau to contact the council if the situation changed during the night. Before dawn the following day, the LDC became aware of significant flooding when a QFES staff member called to alert them to a flood rescue. The council said they did not receive a phone call from the Bureau. The review heard from other councils that the lack of flood telemetry infrastructure meant the Bureau could only issue broad flood warnings, which affected the ability of local governments to issue locally specific AWS warnings, and that the Bureau ‘was too unreliable’. One council said they relied on up to four other sources and a private weather company. Some North Queensland councils, in their opinion, considered the closure of the Cairns Bureau office had an impact on the accuracy of warnings in Far North Queensland because it led to a loss of local knowledge.
