Effective disaster risk reduction, emergency response, infrastructure design/operation, planning and policy making all require data and information about how extreme events will change in the future.</p><p>New data products and information are currently being developed on bushfires, tropical cyclones, east coast lows and thunderstorms (including associated hazards such as extreme rainfall, winds, hail and lightning) by a project on extreme weather events in the National Environmental Science Programme \&nbsp;(NESP: \&nbsp;http://nespclimate.com.au/extreme-weather-projections/). \&nbsp;This \&nbsp;project addresses knowledge gaps on the past and future frequency and intensity of these phenomena, including the physical processes that influence the long-term variations in their characteristics, to \&nbsp;produce \&nbsp;practical \&nbsp;tools \&nbsp;and \&nbsp;guidance \&nbsp;products \&nbsp;for \&nbsp;use \&nbsp;by \&nbsp;planners \&nbsp;and \&nbsp;decision \&nbsp;makers throughout Australia.</p>},
