2. Agenda
Context
A framework for natural hazard mitigation
planning
Design and development of a decision support
system (DSS) for natural hazard mitigation
Use of the DSS in a participatory process
Conclusions
RIKS 2
4. “Population trends, urbanisation and
residential shifts to high risk areas will
intersect with climate change to increase
Australia’s exposure to natural hazards as
a whole”
National Climate Resilience &
Adaptation Strategy, Dept. Environment,
December 2015
Natural disasters are expensive
5. Context and issues
Australian Productivity Commission argues stronger
focus on mitigation compared to response and
recovery
Large uncertainty, high complexity
Currently little focus on:
multi-hazard approaches
exploring long-term hazard, vulnerability and exposure
combining participatory and modelling approaches
understanding trade-offs regarding risk reduction
portfolios
Differences between hazard models in different fields
RIKS 5
6. Our project
Funded by the Australian Bushfire and Natural Hazard
Cooperative Research Centre, 2014-2017
Aim: development of a framework for natural hazard
mitigation decision support systems

Greater Melbourne
Tasmania
Collaboration of the University of Adelaide, Australia
and RIKS, the Netherlands

9. Characteristics of the development
and use process
Closely linked, but separate processes
DSS development - generic
Use in practice – case specific
Feedback mechanisms
Developed prototypes are applied in the use
process
System evaluation and case specific requirements
feed into development process
In early stages of the process emphasis lies
on development, in later stages on use

11. Development process

development of integrated models for policy support. Environmental Modelling and Software 26: 266-279
12.
13. Characteristics of the generic DSS
Multi-hazard approach
Mitigation planning & long-term integrated
spatial planning
Consideration of a large number of options
under various scenarios
Robust and transparent evaluation process
Spatially explicit and dynamic integrated
modelling approach with feedback processes
where relevant

16. Policy interface for mitigation options:
-Land use planning
-Land management
-Building codes
-Construction of infrastructure
-Education and awareness

25. Use Process
• Produce alternate, plausible futures for socio-economic
developments
• Systemic understanding of why things happen and how they
can be changed
• Explore strategic uncertainties in development and how this
influences region’s risk profile and resilience
• Included into decision making & investment frameworks
• Can consider robust or adaptive programs
26. Use process
Combination of participation and modelling
Interviews, questionnaires and workshops
Scenarios
Qualitative narratives
Quantitative analysis
Spatially-explicit and dynamic integrated
assessment modelling (DSS)
Discussion on mitigation portfolios

Until present:
•Development and use framework
•DSS prototype and Adelaide application
•Qualitative and quantitative scenarios
Adelaide
Next steps:
•Mitigation portfolio Adelaide
•Improvement of tool and process
•DSS application Melbourne and Tasmania
•Scenario development and decision support
33. Benefits of integrating the
development and use process
Social learning occurs through:
Involvement of user in model development
Involvement of developer in use
Working together towards a common goal
Looks towards integration of system within
organisations
Builds strategic capacity by exploring future
risk profiles
But, time and hence resource consuming

Development & Use process, see if I can change from just individuals to groups
Aim to bring together evidence based policy assessment and strategic understanding of complexities and uncertainties facing risk and resilience in Queensland
Before I conclude, I will outline the major outcomes of this research:
Finally, the outcomes of our research will be the utilisation of a systematic and transparent approach to evaluating disaster and natural hazard mitigation options, and to
2. Have the ability to make more strategic and less responsive decision in relation to mitigating the impact of disasters and natural hazards as a result of the availability of better information.

Can question how to make Queensland more resilient, what are factors that challenges this and how they develop with time
