Abstract: Abstract We analyze the consequences of a mass casualty event incident by an intentional attack on critical infrastructure. Using friction time analysis to model productivity loss among labor force participants, we model the monetary loss to the economy for three different attack scenarios. We explore the extent to which alternative triage methods may reduce these losses, and we discuss potential ethical dilemma induced by such triage.
