[4/6] U.S. VETERANS IN JAPAN: ACTIONABLE STEPS

🇺🇸 Veterans in Japan urged to:

Evacuate tsunami advisory zones

This is a critical moment in disaster response infrastructure and climate history, especially for international veterans and their dependents in Japan.
Legacy parallels include:

2011 Tōhoku quake
2018 heatwave crisis
2025 twin emergency (today)
