Evacuation Maps for Cairns

A full rant will be following as to why the community has to provide these maps to each other when the council clearly cannot. Anyway.

The last Update I was able to see on their website (1/02/2010 10pm EST) is that people in the ORANGE (and therefore RED) Zones of the below map should evacuate.

There's a lot of confusion going around about the RED, ORANGE and YELLOW zones. To (unofficially) clarify:

The RED zones are the closest to sea level, and the most at risk of flooding. GET OUT NOW. ORANGE is next closest to sea level and as of 1/2/2011 has been advised to evacuate as well. YELLOW is on alert, but not advised to evacuate, yet.

Here's just the ORANGE zones (which, obviously, include the RED zones). Click to make bigger:
