Getting under a desk isn’t going to help against a nuclear attack.

Unclench, life is not worth living with that attitude. Why pick on me, there were at least 6 posts above mine saying the same thing. Geez.

“The citys website recommends that, if school is in session, pupils remain in their classrooms and get under their desks.”
How about just recommend they stand on stools...it will make it easier for them to kiss their asses goodbye.

They're not going to get much warning simply because of proximity. It's around 700 miles from Seoul to Tokyo, so adjust from there for wherever the Norks launch from and wherever the missile ends up. The cruel fact is that there isn't much you really can do when you live that close to a madman. People who don't understand why the U.S. nearly went to war over Soviet missiles in Cuba need to appreciate that point. If there's good news it's that it's more likely to be a single strike than an all-out assault because Kim doesn't have the resources for the latter. That's not much comfort if you happen to be sitting at Ground Zero.
Preparations for this sort of thing do not have to include the long-term bomb shelters of Cold War vintage but they do need to include evacuation from the stricken area, which means preparation of a place to which to evacuate that is accessible and can support a specified population for a specified period of time. The Japanese happen to be very good at this sort of planning, but it needs to be done and the resources procured. I had a Japanese lady, an ex-neighbor, say to me shortly after the Kobe quake that they were very grateful for the help out in the sticks where she lives but were asking some pretty sharp questions of the government as to why all the helicopters they actually saw had American flags on them. The planning has to begin now.

I’m in Osaka. No “panic” anything. It is as normal as can be...people going about their day.
