"Indonesia is one of the most disaster prone countries in the world due to its hazard profile and high population exposure. Despite its risk profile, disaster management has not traditionally been informed by best available information. Since 2008, the Australian and Indonesian governments have partnered to increase the use of science and technology in Indonesia to support decision making in disaster management. Our partnership has concentrated on strengthening the evidence base for informed disaster management by improving: - hazard information for earthquake, tsunami, volcano and flood - spatial data for exposure (population, building, roads and infrastructure) - decision support tools such as InaSAFE that assist disaster managers to combine hazard and exposure data to inform disaster response and management..." -- Online abstract.
