     1Geoscience Australia aims to define the economic and social threat posed to urban communities
     2by a range of rapid onset natural hazards. Through the integration of natural hazard research, defining national exposure and
     3estimating socio-economic vulnerabilities, predictions of the likely impacts of events can be made.
     4Hazards include earthquakes, landslides, tsunami, severe winds and cyclones.

     6By modelling the likely impacts on urban communities as accurately as possible and
     7building these estimates into land use planning and emergency
     8management, communities will be better prepared to respond to
     9natural disasters when they occur.
