There are no serious national events at this time.

Multiple critical geopolitical flashpoints are escalating in near-term timeframe, including Russia-Ukraine active conflict, US-Iran military strike concerns, Pakistan-Afghanistan hostilities, and Middle East escalation risks with nuclear-capable partnerships under negotiation. Concurrent seismic activity and winter weather threats require domestic preparedness in affected regions. Current conditions warrant elevated monitoring and preparedness posture.
