About the Natural Hazards Science Hub

Who we are

The Natural Hazards Hub is administered by the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW). 

The Department works with communities, universities, businesses and our partner government departments and agencies to protect, preserve and strengthen our natural environment and heritage. We do this through active stewardship that supports a healthy New South Wales. 

Environment and Heritage is responsible for delivering the state outcome 'connecting communities to resilient and sustainable environments and heritage'. We deliver this by collaborating across a range of functions, including national park management; biodiversity, conservation and science; and heritage conservation.

We are pleased to support connecting communities and stakeholders to some of this work through the provision of open data in the Natural Hazards Hub.
