#I'm still a bit unsure on what other symptoms tsunamis would have

I like thinking about what a check-up at the doctor's would be like for a nation. Like they get their knee hit with that little reflex mallet and the doctor is like "hmm, yes, something is up with the railroads in the south."
No but fr it's probably exactly like a normal physical except the doctor has to take into account the state of the economy or politics or any recent natural disasters. I feel like certain symptoms are like this:
Blizzard/cold wave = low body temp, mild frostbite, hypothermia in extreme cases
Capital crisis= cardiac arrest, fast pulse, high blood pressure
Disease outbreaks = whatever disease is widespread
Drought = dehydration, dry and flaking skin, rashes
Economic troubles/recession = common cold/fever, lethargy and fatigue
Flood = vomiting, kidney issues
Famine = malnourishment, hunger pains, eternal hunger
Earthquake = convulsions, dizziness, muscle cramps
Heatwave = heatstroke
Hurricane = dizziness, nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath
Political unrest = dizziness, nausea, headaches, stomach aches, mood swings, high blood pressure, auditory hallucinations, psychosis if severe
Tornado = dizziness, confusion, nausea, shortness of breath
Tsunamis = vomiting, dizziness, muscle cramps,
Volcanic eruptions = severe burns, high fever, coughing smoke, shortness of breath
Wildfires = burns, sometimes actual fire is visible, coughing smoke
And if there are any fatalities, other symptoms will show up depending on the death toll. symptoms such as PTSD, nightmares, hallucinations, and a profound sense of loss.
