Abstract
Tropical Cyclone (TC) Yasi crossed Queensland's Cassowary Coast during the night of 2nd and 3rd of February, 2011. The cyclone was forecast to be a severe storm with wind gusts expected to exceed the design gust wind speeds for houses set out in AS4055, BoM (2011). Following the passage of the cyclone, it was evident that significant damage to the region's building stock had occurred. Geoscience Australia (GA), together with collaborators from the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, New Zealand (NIWA), Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) and Maddocks & Associates, undertook a survey of damage to the region's buildings caused by severe wind and storm surge. This paper reports on the survey.
