Potential Impact on the U.S. Economy
Joan Bishop is a Senior Associate with Booz Allen Hamilton, a leading strategy and technology consulting firm. Her specialty is All Hazards Health Preparedness.
In this segment Joan Bishop looks at the potential economic impact of a health crisis. Bishop points out that a healthy population keeps a business moving, while an unhealthy, severely ill, or absent population could lead to the shutdown of a business.
Bishop says that a mass casualty event at one business would have a severe economic impact. She defines a mass casualty as not necessarily thousands of people—it could be just a few people if it happens within a small population.
