-this will be a discussion of the damage modelling
+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.
 
-need to talk about potential impact on indigeneous
-communities here
+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.
 
+reference from Ken?
+
+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.
