Our work forms part of the backbone behind the most important decisions made by governments, emergency services, and the industry sector.
We contribute to each stage of the emergency management cycle to help improve preparedness, response and recovery with our focus on contributing towards community safety.
With the latest science and technology, and a growing catalogue of freely available open-source data, we provide the community safety sectors with information they need to minimise everybody's vulnerability to natural hazards.
Our team of earth system scientists, mathematicians and engineers bring expertise on how to be better prepared for the consequences of natural hazards.
We inform the Australian Government and other stakeholders of the likelihood of natural hazards and their consequences to community safety.
