Measuring vulnerability to hazards is necessary to understand the true extent of risk. Determining social vulnerability relies on the integration of quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Qualitative approaches explore the capacity of communities to manage risk. Quantitative methods integrate data and analytical processes to develop vulnerability measures. Geoscience Australia (GA) has developed tools for modelling natural hazards and assessing vulnerability, building exposure (NEXIS) and infrastructure resilience (CIPMA). Work on social vulnerability began with the Cities Project in 1996. In 2008 GA developed a new method for assessing social vulnerability, within the Critical Infrastructure Project (CIP). CIP takes an all hazards approach to vulnerability, to include impacts like lifeline disruption. This paper discusses a quantitative method for measuring social vulnerability to hazards. The method uses nationally available data to assess individual communities - relative vulnerability. The method allows for a standard approach to identifying highly vulnerable areas.
