A framework for studying mortality arising from critical infrastructure loss

Author

Listed:
  • Yates, Athol

Abstract

A key rationale for critical infrastructure protection policy around the world is that the critical infrastructure must be protected because its loss can lead to fatalities, and it is claimed, a large loss of life in some cases. However, little academic attention has been given to understanding the link between critical infrastructure loss and mortality, meaning that the validity of this rationale is uncertain. The limited study of the mortality impacts of critical infrastructure losses stands in contrast to the significant volume of research on the economic impacts of a critical infrastructure loss.
