The Paracord Project Presents: The Weekly World Risk Update

     One of the things that I have decided might be prudent is to keep a watch on situations around the globe. Everything from natural disasters, to disease and man made disasters and situations. This will allow me to keep an eye on any potential risks for myself, as well as any possibly developing situations worldwide.
 
     I will be posting an update on events and situations weekly.
 
     So here is the update on everything happening out there since the beginning of March (which is not quite a week, but it makes a good starting point).
