This report investigates damage to buildings caused by Severe Tropical Cyclone Narelle that crossed the Western Australian coast south of Coral Bay Friday 27th March 2026 at around 1pm as a category 3 severe tropical cyclone.

Tropical cyclone exposure estimates for North Queensland, aggregated to ABS Statistical Area Level 4 boundaries. Combines historical cyclone track and wind field data with population and dwelling counts from the 2021 Census to show how many people and properties sit within each wind severity band. Supports regional risk profiling, emergency management planning and infrastructure investment decisions across northern Queensland.

Live OGC-compliant web map service delivering national bushfire fuel load and burn severity layers for direct use in desktop and web GIS applications. Provides continuously updated raster and vector layers without requiring bulk download, supporting operational fire agencies, land managers, and researchers who need current spatial data within their own mapping environments.

A 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.

Continuous maximum wind speed observations from tropical cyclones affecting North Queensland from 1970 to 2024, recorded across a network of automatic weather stations. This dataset supports structural vulnerability research, building code review and cyclone impact modelling for communities in Australia's tropical north.
