Disaster Resilience
Research outputs measuring the capacity of Australian communities to prepare for, absorb and recover from natural hazard events. Spanning social science, emergency management and public policy, resources include indices, datasets and articles supporting planners and policymakers.
South Australian Natural Hazard Community Risk Profile
Year Issued: 2026A multi-hazard risk profile of 639 South Australian communities assessing exposure, vulnerability and resilience capacity across bushfire, flood, heatwave and earthquake hazards. Combines physical hazard data with social vulnerability indicators drawn from the 2021 Census. Designed to support state and local government risk-informed planning and priority investment decisions across South Australia.
Australian Disaster Resilience Index
Year Issued: 2026The Australian Disaster Resilience Index (ADRI) is a snapshot of the capacities for disaster resilience in Australian communities. Understanding these capacities, and how they differ from place to place, will help communities, governments and industry work together to cope with and adapt to natural hazards such as bushfires, floods, storms and earthquakes.
