This section deals with modelling the damage to infrastructure as a result of the inundation described in the previous sections. The National Building Exposure Database (NBED) has been created by Geoscience Australia so that consistent risk assessments for a range of natural hazards can be conducted \footnote{http://www.ga.gov.au/urban/projects/ramp/NBED.jsp}. The NBED contains information about buildings, people, infrastructure, structure value and building contents. It is important to note here that the NBED contains information about residential structures only. From this database, we find that there are 13425 residential structures and a population of approximately 41850 in Pt Hedland \footnote{Population is determined by census data and an ABS housing survey). Once the maximum inundation is calculated for each building, the resultant damage can then be determined as a function of its type and location from the coastline, \ref{ken:damage}. Impact on indigeneous communities are important considerations when determining tsunami impact, especially as a number of communities exist in coastal regions. These communities are typcially not included in national residential databases and would be therefore overlooked in damage model estimates. There are four indigeneous communities located in this study area as seen in \ref{fig:communities}. The community located in a potentially vulnerable position (on the headland) is Tjalka Boorda whose population is not registered. \begin{figure}[hbt] \centerline{ \includegraphics[width=100mm, height=75mm]{../report_figures/pt_hedland_communities.png}} \caption{Location of indigeneous communities in study area.} \label{fig:communities} \end{figure} \begin{center} \begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|}\hline Easting & Northing & Community & Population \\ \hline 677055.8541& 7742819.31& Tjalkli Warra& 100 \\ \hline 690756.9171& 7746148.981& Jinparinya& 30 \\ \hline 691091.3867& 7747119.611& Punju Ngarugundi Njamal& 22 \\ \hline 669526.1521& 7752820.507& Tjalka Boorda & 0 \\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{center}
