There are no serious national events at this time.
Global security threats center on escalating Iran-US military tensions, ongoing Ukraine-Russia war with escalation warnings, and Middle East instability that pose risks to energy supplies and international commerce within days to weeks. Domestically, localized weather hazards and normal volcanic/seismic activity present lower immediate risk. Economic pressures mount through conflict-driven trade disruptions and rising fuel costs.
