To raise public and corporate awareness of natural hazard threats to property and life, MapData Sciences and it's newest partner, Risk Frontiers, have launched two new street address based online services – a Natural Hazard Risk Profile Application and a Natural Hazards Risk Web Service. Both services provide "threat by peril" risk ratings for individual Australian properties as they pertain to bushfire, earthquake, hailstorm, tropical cyclone, and, where available, riverine flood. They also provide other contextual information such as elevation above mean sea level, aspect and distance from the shoreline.
Consumers
MDS' Natural Hazard Risk Profile Report allows everyone to enter a street address for a property and for $50.00 plus GST (per report), receive a risk rating covering the natural hazards. Once you've registered and entered payment details into the secure credit card service, the report is delivered (in PDF format).
