Tsunami Guide for Queensland
In 2017, Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) completed the State Natural Hazard Risk Assessment which evaluated the risks presented to Queensland by seven in-scope natural hazards. This publication can be found at www.disaster.qld.gov.au.
The risks presented by tsunami were not evaluated as part of this assessment as there were State and Commonwealth projects underway at the time that would better inform the understanding of the hazard. These have since been completed and now underpin this guide.
Following the release of the State Natural Hazard Risk Assessment and through consultation with stakeholders at all levels of Queensland’s Disaster Management Arrangements, the need for consistent information regarding Queensland’s risk from tsunami impact and inundation was identified.
Accordingly, this Tsunami Guide for Queensland was developed, with support from Geoscience Australia and the Department of Environment and Science’s Coastal Impacts Unit (CIU), through a consultative process which also helped contextualise the
findings of Geoscience Australia’s Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Assessment 2018 (PTHA18) for Queensland.
