National Risk Assessment Framework  

The National Risk Assessment Framework was designed to improve collective knowledge about natural hazard risk in Australia so that support can be provided to emergency risk management and natural hazard mitigation. The natural hazards covered in the framework are bushfires, earthquakes, floods, storms, tropical cyclones, storm surges, landslides, tsunami, tornados and meteorite strikes.

The main objective for the National Risk Assessment Framework is to support the development of an evidence base which can be used for effective risk management decisions.

Current priorities under the framework include

• preparing risk assessment guidelines for the Australian, State and Territory Governments as well as local government to undertake risk assessments in a consistent and rigorous way with a focus on outcomes. Further information

• Another current priority is to reach a first-pass understanding of existing gaps in knowledge and develop strategies to prioritise and address these gaps so the understanding of natural hazard risk in Australia will be increased.
