Section 4.3

Scenario 6: Heatwave
The QERMF Heatwave risk assessment scenario also considered the long-term effects of heat such as
drought. Drought is not considered a disaster in Queensland and is not managed using the QDMA.
A Drought Relief Assistance Scheme for primary producers is available from the State Government.
The determined QERMF likelihood for Scenario 6 can be found in Table 3 above.
A summary of the residual risk level for Scenario 6 can be found in Table 4 below.
Geographic vulnerability to the effects of Scenario 6 modelling is illustrated in Figure 14 below
