Abstract
The full set of U.S. Homeland Security National Risk Characterization (HSNRC) Threats is presented in Table 3.1. This chapter presents examples of scenarios and direct economic impacts for two example threats: earthquakes and human pandemic. Each section consists of a summary description of the scenario, conversion of concepts to drivers that can be used in our CGE model, and the filling in of both qualitative and quantitative entries in the Enumeration Tables discussed in the previous chapter.
