I am a US citizen who volunteers for human rights organization and noticed my iCloud account was attempted to be logged in by someone in China (Nanchang)
What should I do with regard to responsible reporting to Apple?
What should I do with regard to responsible reporting to Yahoo? (my AppleID)
What should I do with regard to relevant US State / Federal reporting?
I'm not sure if I should fear of my personal safety, or be concerned about the confidentiality of my data.

First of you should check that the email is indeed legitimate (i.e. actually sent by Apple's servers). It is common place to receive emails like this that are actually fake.
In any case, there's no need or obligation for you to report this to Apple or Yahoo. It is not an indication that your or their systems have been hacked.
In case of US State / Federal reporting, unless you're employed by these entities and have specifically been bound to report this (very likely you have not), then there's not need to report it to them either.
