There are no serious national events at this time.
Multiple global flashpoints including Ukraine, Middle East escalation, and US-China military tensions warrant continued monitoring, but current indicators do not suggest imminent threats to US civilian safety. The situation requires sustained preparedness posture within a medium-term timeframe rather than acute alert status.

International travel advisories reflect significant regional instability. Seven nations carry Level 4 (Do Not Travel) designations: Mali, Ukraine, Lebanon, Burma (Myanmar), Iran, Haiti, and Libya. Four countries have been elevated to Level 3 (Reconsider Travel) status: Guyana, Burundi, Papua New Guinea, and Nepal. Fourteen countries maintain Level 2 (Exercise Increased Caution) advisories including Angola, Netherlands, Serbia, Peru, Philippines, Mexico, Thailand, Tunisia, Jordan, and others. The majority of nations and territories remain at Level 1 (Exercise Normal Precautions).
Multiple active conflicts and escalating tensions across Ukraine, the Middle East, South Asia, and trade systems indicate heightened global instability.
