AUSTRALIA

NATURAL HAZARDS THAT HAVE CAUSED DISASTERS IN AUSTRALIA FLOODS CYCLONES EARTHQUAKES WILDFIRES ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE HIGH BENEFIT/COST FROM BECOMING DISASTER NRESILIENT GOAL: PROTECT PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES

Natural Phenomena that Cause Disasters Planet Earth’s atmospheric- hydrospheric- lithospheric interactions create situations favorable for CYCLONES

A DISASTER is the set of failures that overwhelm the capability of a community to respond without external help when three continuums: 1) people, 2) community (i.e., a set of habitats, livelihoods, and social constructs), and 3) complex events (e.g., cyclones, floods,...) intersect at a point in space and time.

Disasters are caused by s ingle- or multiple-event natural hazards that, (for various reasons), cause extreme levels of mortality, morbidity, homelessness, joblessness, economic losses, or environmental impacts.

SEVERE WINDSTORM HAZARDS

HIGH POTENTIAL LOSS EXPOSURES IN A CYCLONE A communities people, property, essential and critical infrastructure, business enterprise, government centers, crops, wildlife, and natural resources.

HAZARDS OF A SEVERE WINDSTORM (AKA POTENTIAL DISASTER AGENTS) WIND FIELD (CLOCKWISE DIRECTION; CAT 1 (55 mph) TO CAT 5 (155 mph or greater) STORM SURGE HEAVY RAINFALL LANDSLIDES (MUDFLOWS) COSTAL EROSION TORNADOES (SOMETIMES)

WIND PENETRATING BUILDING ENVELOPE SEVERE WINDSTORMS UPLIFT OF ROOF SYSTEM FLYING DEBRIS STORM SURGE IRREGULARITIES IN ELEVATION AND PLAN DESIGN PROBLEMS FLOODING AND LANDSLIDES CAUSES OF DAMAGE “DISASTER LABORATORIES”

SOME OF AUSTRALIA’S WORST CYCLONES Cyclone TRACY: 1974 Cyclone LARRY: 2006 Cyclone HAMISH: 2009

CYCLONE TRACY

CYCLONE TRACY’S PATH

IMPACTS OF CYCLONE TRACY Cyclone Tracy devastated the city of Darwin in Australia’s Northern Territory from Christmas Eve to Christmas Day, 1974.

IMPACTS OF TRACY Tracy killed 71 people, caused AS837 million in damage (1974 dollars) and destroyed more than 70 percent of Darwin's buildings, including 80 percent of the houses.

IMPACTS OF TRACY More than 30,000 of Darwin’s 47,000 inhabitants were evacuated from Adelaide, Whvalla, Alice, Springs, and Sydney. Many never returned to Darwin.

AFTER TRACY Darwin was rebuilt using modern materials and updated building practices that incorporated wind engineering

CYCLONE LARRY

QUEENSLAND

Larry made landfall in far North Queensland close to Innisfail on 20 March 2006 as a Category 4 with wind gusts reaching 240 kilometers per hour (150 mph), and dissipating over land soon afterward.

CYCLONE LARRY: MARCH 15-20, 2006

CYCLONE LARRY’S TRACK: MARCH 15-20, 2006

LARRY’S IMPACTS Throughout Queensland, Cyclone Larry resulted in A$1.5 billion ($1.1 billion USD) in damage, making Larry, at that time the costliest tropical cyclone to ever impact Australia, surpassing 1974’s Cyclone Tracy’ loss.

CYCLONE HAMISH

CYCLONE HAMISH: MARCH 4-11, 2009

CYCLONE HAMISH‘ TRACK MARCH 4-11, 2009

CYCLONE HAMISH

CYCLONE HAMISH’S IMPACTS Hamish was a CAT 4 storm with 290 kph (175 mph) winds Coal exports were disrupted The tourist industry was slowed. It caused a major oil spill.

HEAVY RAINFALL Hamish produced heavy rainfall over North Queensland with accumulations of 300 mm (12 in) in some areas. Mackay recorded 284 mm (11 in) in 2 days, and in combination with high tide, Hamish produced a 6.3 m (20.6 ft) tide in Mackay, flooding some streets.
