Q

What are the 5 network simulations?

A

Bombing - reduce arc capacity on randomly selected arcs within the network

Terrorist attack - a few pre-selected arcs incurred significant damage

Flood - capacities of multiple connected arcs were reduced

Earthquake - randomly selected over a large area and their capacities were randomly reduced

Intermodal terminal attack - rail service inoperable in and out of CHI and LAX

Q

Hazard

An example?….

A

Something that can cause harm, e.g. electricity, chemicals, working up a ladder, noise, a keyboard, a bully at work, stress, etc.
