There are no serious national events at this time.
The United States is actively engaged in full-scale military operations with Iran, resulting in 850,000+ displaced civilians and critical disruptions to global trade routes and energy supplies. Concurrently, severe weather threats impact multiple U.S. regions while unprecedented fuel price increases of 12-18 percent signal supply chain disruption. This convergence of active warfare, humanitarian crisis, infrastructure disruption, and domestic hazards represents a significant and rapidly escalating threat to civilian safety.
