风暴造成澳大利亚房屋的大部分损坏。人口增长使更多的人和建筑物面临这些风灾害的风险。房屋和组件目前的设计和建造符合澳大利亚建筑规范的标准。包括建筑检查在内的监管措施旨在确保建筑质量可接受。检查和风灾后损害调查一致表明，现代房屋（1980年后）比旧房屋（1980年前）在飓风和非飓风地区表现更好。然而，在最近的调查中发现的设计和施工错误降低了当代住房的弹性。澳大利亚地球科学局正在开发一个软件工具，利用经验模型、专家意见和工程方法评估住房的脆弱性。这些模型可用于评估一系列房屋类型的脆弱性，并建议适应措施，以说明澳大利亚风暴强度的增加。
Windstorms cause most of the damage to housing in Australia. Population growth is exposing more people and buildings to risks from these wind hazards. Houses and components are currently designed and built to standards aligned with the Building Code of Australia. Regulatory measures including building inspections are meant to ensure acceptable quality of construction. Inspections and post windstorm damage surveys have consistently shown that contemporary houses (post 1980) perform better than older houses (pre 1980) in cyclone and non cyclone areas. However, errors in design and construction found during recent surveys, reduce the resilience of contemporary housing. Geoscience Australia is developing a software tool for assessing the vulnerability of housing, using empirical models, expert opinion, and engineering methods. These models could be used to assess vulnerability of a range of house types and also recommend adaptation measure to account for increases in the intensity of windstorms in Australia.
