Normalised New Zealand natural Disaster insurance losses
The Insurance Council of New Zealand’s Disaster List documents private sector insurance payouts caused by natural perils since April 1968. We normalise these and, where possible, payments made by the Earthquake Commission, a government natural disaster insurance scheme, as if historical events were to impact current societal conditions, defined here as the 12-month period from 1 July 2018. The methodology employs changes in the number, size and n…
Compound natural disasters in Australia
Compound disasters, defined here as two or more disasters occurring within a three-month window and within a given jurisdiction, pose complex disaster coordination and recovery challenges. Planning for the management of such disasters would benefit from a better understanding of their frequency and their underlying climate influences. Here we utilise an Australian natural disaster database of normalised insurance losses to show compound disasters…
Normalised insurance losses from Australian natural disasters
The paper updates normalisation of the Insurance Council of Australia's Disaster List in the light of debate about the contribution of global warming to the rising cost of natural disasters. Normalisation estimates losses from historical events in a common year, here 'season' 2017 defined as the 12-month period from 1 July 2017. The number and nominal cost of new residential dwellings are key normalising factors and post-1974 improvements in cons…
Influence of road characteristics on flood fatalities in Australia
An analysis of published flood fatalities in Australia occurring between 1960 and 2015 revealed that 49% of 229 flood fatalities were vehicle related. After reviewing previous work on vehicle-related flood fatalities, this study examines attributes of roadways that may have influenced driver decisions to enter floodwaters and the survivability of people in vehicles that did so and concludes by discussing policy implications. Characteristics most …
Response to F ay J ohnston and D avid B owman (2013), ‘Bushfire Smoke
Exploring 167 years of vulnerability
Despite their relative importance in terms of human mortality, extreme heat events have not attracted the same level of study compared with other natural hazards in regards to vulnerability and implications for emergency management and policy change. Definitional confusion and inconsistencies in defining heat related deaths over time have made it difficult to determine an absolute death toll. Notwithstanding these issues, this study employs Peril…
Is the allocation of resources towards mitigation and response to fire in Australia optimal
Australia invests significant resources to address the risk of fire in all its forms. This study asks the question: is the current investment strategy cost-effective? This question was approached in two ways: first, through a cross-sectional study of fire statistics from other developed countries and, second, through a structured expert judgment exercise. The former found no significant relationship between the level of investment and losses from…

Shelter-in-place’ vs. evacuation in flash floods
This paper examines the circumstances in which a ‘shelter-in-place’ strategy may be a viable alternative to evacuation during flash floods. While evacuation remains the dominant strategy for a range of hazards, a review of the literature suggests growing awareness of the dangers associated with late evacuations and some limited consideration of shelter-in-place options. This study examines the feasibility of a shelter-in-place strategy for flash …
