vandalism/graffiti minor fence/camera damage small-scale repairs and local PR/legal response
🚨 Major Collapse $834K/yr
5.0% probability / year +$280K vs baseline
Partial or full collapse of the structure requiring demolition, large-scale hazardous remediation, extended investigations and significant legal/PR costs.
structural collapse hazardous-materials remediation controlled demolition and debris removal
🚨 Catastrophic Event $2.1M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Large-scale catastrophic outcome with multi-jurisdictional legal exposure, heavy contamination, or high-profile discovery triggering litigation and extended remediation.
