Abstract

A study was conducted on the coast of the Northern Territory to investigate severe natural hazards in the Australian monsoon region. It was contended that over a long period of time indigenous inhabitants of the area developed effective methods of survival against cyclones and other natural hazards. These kinds of studies highlight the need for more research based on disaster management in remote cyclone prone areas and it can also investigate the survival strategies of Aboriginal people in regions such as the Gulf of Carpentaria.
