Events in red have occurred in the real world.
January
- 1: A 7.5 Mww earthquake strikes the western coast of Japan, killing at least 221 people and injuring 1,120 others. A further five are killed the next day when a Coast Guard aircraft carrying humanitarian aid collides with a Japan Airlines passenger jet, destroying both aircraft. All 379 people aboard the passenger jet are evacuated safely.
- 10: A powerful winter storm system sweeps across North America, with almost 500,000 losing power from the Pacific Northwest to the Great Lakes. Over 3,000 flights are cancelled due to the storm. Temperatures in the Rocky Mountains reach as low as -48ºC.
– The Provincial governments of New York and New Jersey restrict access to many of their highways in response to the blizzard; Prime Minister Julia Louis-Dreyfus announces that the federal government is "closely monitoring" the situation across the country.
