Two new natural hazard research projects are underway, covering decision making in emergency management and the impact of natural hazards on infrastructure networks:
- Enhancing decision making in emergency management will strengthen emergency management decision-making training in Australia by developing of a set of prototype training and learning products that support the needs of decision makers operating in a variety of decision making environments.
- Modelling impacts of natural hazards on interconnected infrastructure networks will develop vulnerability models that can be used to quantify how public infrastructure is impacted by natural hazards. The project aims to develop models for both direct and indirect impacts for a selection of infrastructure and natural hazard types.
These projects have been developed based on concepts submitted by Natural Hazards Research Australia’s network of Participants.
