Abstract
The development of the National Exposure Information System (NEXIS) is a significant national project being undertaken by Geoscience Australia (GA). NEXIS collects, collates, manages and provides the information required to assess multi-hazard impacts. Exposure information is defined as a suite of elements at risk from a hazard which includes human populations, buildings, businesses and infrastructure. Understanding population exposure is essential for emergency planning and management. However exposure information can also be used for understanding climate change risk, assessing energy efficiency policy, urban planning and other spatial research. This paper focuses on the population aspects of NEXIS and recent work on estimation methods for the present day over any geographic extent. Plans for work on small area population estimates to 2100 will also be presented. Finally planned future work on activity modelling, that is determining population movement throughout the day, will also be highlighted.
