State Earthquake Risk Assessment (and the Tsunami Guide for Queensland)

The State Earthquake Risk Assessment (SERA) and accompanying Tsunami Guide for Queensland (TGQ) are high-level reports intended to act as the foundational earthquake and tsunami risk assessments for all tiers of government, non-government organisations, not-for-profit organisations, disaster management groups, and others with legislated roles in disaster management.

They provide a comprehensive overview of current and future earthquake and tsunami risk in Queensland based on information derived from national assessments on these hazards developed by Geoscience Australia (GA). The development of the SERA and TGQ was underpinned by the QERMF, and was a collaborative effort led by Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) in partnership with GA, Queensland Department of Environment and Science (DES), and the Universities of Queensland (UQ) and Newcastle (UN).
