From multi-hazard early warning systems (MHEWS) to all-vulnerability warning systems (AVWS) [PDF]
iScienceSummary: Science, policy, and practice have long accepted that disasters occur due to vulnerabilities rather than hazards, yet approaches to warnings still tend to be hazard-focused.

Understanding the social aspects of earthquake early warning: A literature review
Frontiers in Communication, 2022 Earthquake early warning (EEW) systems aim to warn end-users of incoming ground shaking from earthquakes that have ruptured further afield, potentially reducing risks to lives and properties. EEW is a socio-technical system involving technical and social

Evaluation of Satellite Precipitation Estimates over the South West Pacific Region
Remote Sensing, 2021 Rainfall estimation over the Pacific region is difficult due to the large distances between rain gauges and the high convection nature of many rainfall events. This study evaluates space-based rainfall observations over the South West Pacific Region from

Coastal Inundation Hazard Assessment in Australian Tropical Cyclone Prone Regions
Hydrology, 2023 One of the hazards associated with tropical cyclones (TCs) is a storm surge, which leads to coastal inundation and often results in loss of life and damage to infrastructure.

Flood Exposure Assessment and Mapping: A Case Study for Australia’s Hawkesbury-Nepean Catchment
Hydrology, 2022 Floods are the most common and costliest natural disaster in Australia. However, the Flood Risk Assessments (FRAs) employed to manage them are hazard-focused and tend to overlook exposure and vulnerability.
