Australia

With frequent megafires threatening biodiversity, a study of Australia’s 2019-2020 fires highlights the need to limit fire frequency, expand protected areas, and consider drought effects. Ecosystem-specific management and long-term monitoring are key.

This paper presents the development of an artificial neural network "metamodel" that can predict the burn probability outputs of computationally expensive process-based fire simulation models.

The biennial State of the Climate Report draws on the latest national and international climate research, monitoring, science and projection information to describe changes and long-term trends in Australia’s climate.

This report outlines findings and recommendations in the aftermath of the 2022 floods across Australia. In particular, this report examines the three “P”s of flood insurance: policyholders, pooling and preparation.

This eighth major incidents report provides an annual record of major incidents in Australia that have been identified as significant by the Australian emergency management sector during the 2023–24 financial year.

This guide should be considered alongside Evacuation Planning when developing an evacuation plan and will support culturally safe and effective evacuations of Indigenous people at risk from natural and other hazards.

The ANU Disaster Solutions Update and Roundtable 2024 aims to identify the key challenges regarding funding for resilience, recovery, and insurance; and discuss the research to address financing challenges.

The CORE-STEP Dashboard attempts to support healthcare systems by presenting visualisations of data on historical disaster events, climate-sensitive disease trends, community adaptation efforts, and health service capacity.
