There are no serious national events at this time.

Global security tensions have elevated across multiple regions, particularly between the US and Iran with simultaneous military deployment and nuclear negotiations, while Russia-Ukraine conflict continues with civilian infrastructure targeting. Routine domestic weather and natural disaster concerns exist but remain manageable; however, the risk of regional miscalculation and escalation warrants heightened preparedness awareness.
