# How to view flood, landslide and bushfire source authorities

Landchecker shows potential hazards that may affect a property, including flood, bushfire and landslide risks. This information helps you make informed decisions and identify properties that may need additional due diligence.

## What Hazards Can You See?

You can visualise potential hazard areas directly on the map by activating the relevant hazard layers from the **Planning Layers** menu on the left-hand side.

When you select a property, the **Property Information Panel** on the right displays a detailed summary of any applicable hazards. Landchecker currently displays three types of hazards:

- **Flood** – areas identified as flood-prone by state, council or ICEYE
- **Bushfire**– areas within designated bushfire zones or high-risk regions
- **Landslide**– areas identified as having landslide risk

## How To View Detailed Hazard Information

1. Use the address search bar at the top of the map to find your property. You can search by:
   - Complete street address
   - Coordinates
   - Lot/plan details
2. Once you've selected your property, the info tab will appear on the right-hand side of the screen.
3. Scroll down through the property information panel to view the hazard section. Each hazard will show one of three statuses:
   - **Affected**– We have coverage for this area and the hazard zone intersects with the property. This means the property falls within the designated hazard area.
   - **Unaffected**– We have coverage for this area but the hazard zone doesn't intersect with the property. The property is outside the designated hazard area.
   - **No Coverage** – We don't currently have hazard data available for this location.
4. Click on any hazard type to see more details in a pop-up window. This shows you:
   - **Source Authority** – the authority responsible for flood management in the area
   - **Status**– how the hazard affects this specific property
   - **Type**– whether the data comes from state government or local council
   - **Last Updated** – when the data was last refreshed

## Flood Data Sources

For flood hazards, you'll see whether the information comes from:

- **State Government** – state-level flood mapping and planning overlays
- **Local Council**– council-specific flood studies and planning controls
- **ICEYE Flood** – delivers flood extent and depth data with up to 30cm accuracy
