Hawaii seeks to prepare residents for threat of nuclear missile strike from North Korea

The state's emergency management agency said the threat to the islands from the rogue nation is "currently assessed to be low."

But officials added ongoing North Korean missile tests — and growing public concern — have prompted officials to work on preparedness and disaster management plans.

Vern Miyagi, administrator of the emergency management agency... said, the public should see the preparation and education much like the work being done to prepare the public for hurricane and tsunami...

Earlier this month, North Korea tested an ICBM missile, drawing condemnation from the US and other countries. Experts say an ICBM like the one North Korea launched could reach Alaska and possibly even Hawaii.

The state plan considers what is currently a worst-case scenario: A 15-kiloton nuclear weapon detonated 1,000 feet above Honolulu.

In that scenario, public service announcements will tell residents, people should "get inside, stay inside, and stay tuned."

Maybe they can pray to their mighty god Obama for protection !

After all, its under his watch that North Korea went totally rogue as he held parts with the Hollywood elites every week.

Practice saying “Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama”.

One EMP over hawaii would knock out pearl harbor and most of the infrastructure better than any volcanic eruption

The solution is to get judges to allow more unvetted Muslims into their state.

Duck and cover? Hold hands and sing Kumbaya as they're incinerated?

How about supporting a government that will protect them, with violence, if necessary? Or would that fail their virtue-signalling test?

My guess is that much of the infrastructure at the military bases in Hawaii and elsewhere is ‘hardened’ against even EMP strikes.

If they think they need to be defended, maybe they should start defending the Constitution.

ACE Hardware just announced they have a special shipment of NUCLEAR EAR PLUGS arriving soon and most have said they are relieved that someone is doing something!!!!! The State legislature has been called into Special Session to determine the SALES TAX for these ear plugs.
