Please do not change the fonts or the size of fonts, margins or spaces.  The abstract must not include Figures, Tables or references and should only include a minimum of mathematical symbols or expressions (if any). Modelling the effects on the built environment of natural hazards such as riverine flooding, storm surges and tsunami is critical for understanding their economic and social impact on our urban communities.  Geoscience Australia and the Australian National University are developing a hydrodynamic inundation modelling tool called ANUGA to help simulate the impact of these hazards. The title of the paper, author names and affiliations should be put in as indicated in the sample abstract. Affiliations should be brief and consist of Institution, City, Country'. The author who is to present the paper should be indicated by an asterisk. The superscripts that relate the author to the affiliation should be omitted in the case of a single author or multiple authors with the same affiliation. (Delete the dollar signs and included caret and number in the author list, and delete the number, but leave the braces, in the affiliation command.) The core of ANUGA is a Python implementation of a finite-volume method for solving the Shallow Water Wave equation.  This method allows the study area to be represented by an unstructured mesh with variable resolution to suit the particular problem.  Another important capability of ANUGA is that it can robustly model the process of wetting and drying as water enters and leaves an area. This means that it is suitable for simulating water flow onto a beach or dry land and around structures such as buildings. If you have any questions regarding the preparation and submission of an abstract please send an email to \underline{ctac-2006@jcu.edu.au} The talk outlines the model implementation, provides validation results, identifies remaining challenges and describes its role within the Australian Tsunami Warning System.
