A Natural Hazards Atlas for Tasmania

Information about natural hazards is essential in a changing climate. Although much of this information exists, it not always accessible or a comprehensible to stakeholders without technical knowledge.
However, for effective adaptation planning, natural hazards information needs to be available in a widely understood, open access format.
To fill this information gap, the Natural Hazards Atlas for Tasmania will provide comprehensive information on seven natural hazards (bushfire, wind, heatwave, storm, flood, sea level rise, compound hazards) all of them closely associated with changes to our current climate.
The precise format of the atlas and associated hazards information will be informed by the community consultation that is currently underway.
