There are no serious national events at this time.
The global situation is characterized by multiple developing risks including escalating US-Iran military tensions, ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, economic destabilization from tariff policies, Mexico's internal security collapse, and persistent regional conflicts. While no imminent threats to US civilian safety are indicated within the next 24-48 hours, the convergence of geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainty, and natural disasters warrants elevated monitoring and preparedness planning over the next 3-6 months.
