Abstract
Geoscience Australia (GA) began the development of the National Exposure Information System (NEXIS) in response to COAG reform Commitment 2 'establish a nationally consistent system of data collection, research and analysis to ensure a sound knowledge base on natural disasters and disaster mitigation' (COAG, 2003). It was also recognised as a priority for the development of better models and tools to allocate investment across prevention, preparedness, response and recovery (PPRR) and also to assess the impact of emergencies on the community in the Emergency Management Information Development Plan (Harper, 2006). The NEXIS underpins various activities of risk assessment modelling, critical infrastructure failures, early warning systems and several national priority initiatives. This system will provide consistent and best available information at a national scale (for example, the number and type of buildings, businesses, people, critical infrastructure, and institutions such as schools and hospitals) to understand hazard exposure, at all locations in Australia.
