Abstract
This user guide describes the important instructions for using the Tasmanian Extreme Wind Hazard Standalone Tool (TEWHST). It aims to assist the Tasmanian State Emergency Service (SES) to view the spatial nature of extreme wind hazard (and how it varies depending on the direction of the extreme wind gusts). This information indicates detailed spatial texture for extreme hazard, which can provide guidance for understanding where the local-scale hazard (and impact) is expected to be the greatest for any particular event depending on the intensity and directional influence of the broad-scale severe storm. The tool provides spatial information at the local scale (25 metre resolution) of the return period extreme wind hazard (3-second gust at 10 metre height; variation with direction) where the broad-scale regional hazard is provided by the Australian and New Zealand Wind Loading Standard (AS/NZS 1170.2, 2002).
