The Australian Exposure Information Platform: uncovering national exposure

Understanding what is exposed during hazard events is a highly valuable starting point for a variety of sectors. Using CRC research, the new Australian Exposure Information Platform (AEIP) quickly and easily allows users to generate exposure reports needed for decision making before during and after hazard events anywhere in Australia.

These customised reports provide a detailed statistical summary of the number of people, dwellings, buildings, structures, businesses, and agricultural and environmental assets within a user-defined area. The AEIP was a key source of information during the 2019/20 fire season and is used regularly by more than 50 organisations across government, industry and emergency sectors to produce thousands of reports each month. 

Hazard Note 74 outlines the CRC research that has improved the application of the AEIP, to ensure that exposure can be easily understood and utilised in mitigation and operational decision making for any hazard within any area.
