Historical climate TC wind hazard assessment for Queensland

Tropical cyclone wind hazard across Queensland and the Coral Sea was evaluated using Geoscience Australia's Tropical Cyclone Risk Model (TCRM), which provides a spatial representation of the AEP wind speeds arising from tropical cyclones, as part of the <em>Severe Wind Hazard Assessment for South East Queensland</em> (SWHA-SEQ) project. The project is a collaboration between Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES), Geoscience Australia, James Cook University (JCU) and six coastal local governments in South East Queensland.<br>This regional wind hazard data underpins a local-scale risk assessment for South East Queensland, which included the effects of synoptic and severe thunderstorms on wind hazard. The assessment aslo provides a baseline for projections of future TC wind hazard in the Queensland region. Details of the hazard assessment are provided in the <em>Severe Wind Hazard Assessment for South East Queensland – SWHA-SEQ Technical Report</em> (https://pid.geoscience.gov.au/dataset/ga/147446). <br>
