South-East Queensland Community Risk Report
Natural Hazards and the risks they pose to South-East Queensland - 2001
This report considers heat waves, bushfires and earthquakes as well as risks indicative to tropical cyclones such as severe wind and storm tides, east coast lows, thunderstorms, landslides and floods. The vulnerability of south east Queensland to the effects of natural hazards is increasing as a result of population growth and expansion of urban development. Risk modelling defines the threat of natural hazards by using natural hazard research and the vulnerability of the community, buildings and infrastructure.
