| 4 | FESA recognises the potential vulnerability of the Western Australia |
|---|
| 5 | coastline to tsunamigenic earthquakes originating from |
|---|
| 6 | the Sunda Arc subduction zone that caused the December 2004 event. |
|---|
| 7 | There is historic evidence of tsunami events affecting the |
|---|
| 8 | Western Australia coastline, \cite{CB:ausgeo}, |
|---|
| 9 | and FESA has sought to assess |
|---|
| 10 | the relative risk of its urban and regional communities to the tsunami |
|---|
| 11 | threat and develop detailed response plans for a range of plausible events. |

|---|
| 13 | This report describes the modelling methodology and the results |
|---|
| 14 | for a particular tsunami-genic event as it impacts the Port Hedland township |
|---|
| 15 | and its surrounds. This report and the decision support tool are the |
|---|
| 16 | June 2006 deliverables of the Collaborative Research Agreement |
|---|
| 17 | between FESA and GA. |
