Tasmanians are being urged to prepare for a major rain event bearing down on the island, with concerns that measures put in place after the 2016 floods are incomplete and a hard-hit town is still vulnerable.
During the 36-hour period to Friday morning, falls between 180 to 220 millimetres are forecast around the north-west and north-east, with between 30 and 60 millimetres forecast in the south-west.
