Geoscience Australia's Geohazards Web Site gets even better

摘要

A review (Norvill, 2003) of several natural hazards websites was published in the December 2003 Preview. Each site was rated according to content/information, friendliness of navigation, aesthetics, and currency of material. In this review, the Geoscience Australia Earthquake and Natural Hazards website was rated four and a half stars out of a possible five. Geoscience Australia produces first-class geoscientific information and knowledge that enables governments and the community organisations to make informed decisions about the exploitation of resources, the management of the environment, the safety of communities and infrastructure, and the resultant wellbeing of all Australians. The Geohazards Division generates information and knowledge that underpin well-informed decisions on safety and the security of the community.
