Baseline
(baseline)
$28.3M/yr
Normal year with routine readiness, training, surveillance, and occasional small incidents handled within reserves.
no major outbreaks
routine training and maintenance
🚨
Minor Incident
$29.8M/yr
Single medium urban instance requiring quarantine, incineration of one building, evacuation, medical response, and local cover-up.
single converted building
7–14 day quarantine and targeted incineration
🚨
Major Incident
$33.3M/yr
Multi-building outbreak or prolonged quarantine requiring large-scale demolition, extended evacuations, and heavy legal/PR expenditures.
multi-building spread
extended multi-week operations
🚨
Catastrophic Breach
$1.0B/yr
Rapid city-scale propagation requiring full eradication/remediation operations (mass demolition, relocation, long-term environmental remediation).

Confidence Notes
Estimates are based on wide published ranges and scenario-dependent catastrophic tails; many line items have broad uncertainty (per-incident variability, jurisdictional legal risk, and potential city-scale costs), so overall confidence is low.
