Western Australia’s State Risk Profile (the Profile) has been developed from an assessment of 28 hazards prescribed under state emergency management legislation. The work forms part of the State Risk Project, which aims to systematically assess the risks posed by prescribed hazards, including natural and anthropogenic incidents. The assessment followed the risk management standard ISO 31000:2009 and the methodology outlined in the National Emergency Risk Assessment Guidelines (NERAG), first published in 2010.
