Project Description
The City of Fremantle, like many communities around the globe, must consider the possible impacts of a 2-3 degree temperature rise on livelihoods and infrastructure. Through increased awareness of the reality of natural disasters and other phenomena, we can leverage knowledge of past and present 'bad news' to better prepare ourselves for the future.
Imagine opening your smartphone to find out what bad news you can expect to affect your life now and into the future. Bad News is Good News presents a map-based approach to understanding risk factors surrounding natural disasters and other predictable phenomena. With usage ranging from first homebuyers, families and urban planning.
Data Story
There are many scenarios in today's world where natural disasters including flooding, bushfires, cyclones and earthquakes seemingly take us by surprise. With rising temperatures around the globe, the severity of these events is anticipated to increase significantly, and it is important to understand the impact this will have on populations around the globe.
Bad News is Good News uses government data to provide information including predicted flooding, bushfire and earthquake risks.

Team DataSets
Mobile Black Spot Database (Australia)
Description of Use Mobile blackspots are a risk factor to be considered when evaluating the severity of potential future disaster scenarios, for example floods, bushfires and earthquakes.
Fire in Australia's Forests (Number of fires 2011-12 to 2015-16)
Description of Use Bushfires are a significant risk factor for livelihoods and infrastructure which is anticipated to increase in severity as a result of global warming.
Flood — Awareness — Flood Risk Overall (Brisbane)
Description of Use Flooding is a significant risk factor regarding infrastructure and livelihoods, and one which is predicted to increase in severity as a result of global warming. Historical and predicted flooding areas can provide an insight into the flood related risks in particular locations.
FPM Floodplain Area (DWER-020) (WA Region)
Description of Use Flooding is a significant risk factor regarding infrastructure and livelihoods, and one which is predicted to increase in severity as a result of global warming. Historical and predicted flooding areas can provide an insight into the flood related risks in particular locations.
Earthquake Hazard (Australia)
Description of Use Earthquake Hazard data represents a risk factor with regard to livelihoods and infrastructure.
