Australia is exposed to a wide range of natural hazards, including earthquake, cyclone, landslide, flood, storm surge, severe wind, bushfire, coastal erosion, hail storm and drought. How each person will fare in the event of a natural hazard is influenced not just by exposure to infrastructure, but also by personal attributes, community support, access to resources and governmental management. This network of factors affecting social vulnerability to natural hazards, combined with the complex linkages found in cities and the behaviour of the hazard itself, all contribute to the development of a risk assessment.
