Natural Hazards Research Australia’s Inquiries and Reviews database contains a catalogue of 348 inquiries and reviews relating to emergency management and natural hazards across all states and territories in Australia between 1886 and 2024.

The data can be sorted via disaster and inquiry type, date, and state/territory using a simple table display. For more in-depth analysis, CSV files can be downloaded, allowing you to run local queries and reports.

You can search and filter through 4,833 recommendations using keywords and themes, making it easy to find and compare options.

This database can be used for a variety of purposes, including to:

• Compare equivalent recommendations between inquiries, themes and jurisdictions
• Track inquiries across state and territory, year and types
• Download and work with all inquiries and listed recommendations for the specific needs of your organisation.

The Inquiries and Reviews Database was an outcome of the former Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC’s Tactical Research Fund  project, completed in 2017 and commissioned by AFAC.
