Executive Summary

Severe flooding and expanding Middle East conflicts require American NGO personnel to shelter in place immediately. Heavy rainfall submerged primary transit routes in Karachi while Iranian forces struck regional US military bases. These dual crises trap staff in a city with zero diplomatic or physical extraction support. Personnel must remain indoors and prepare for retaliatory anti-American violence as regional tensions escalate.
