Hawaii has begun planning for a potential North Korean nuclear attack through educating the public and dusting off Cold War-era training manuals.
Hawaii News Now reports that the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency is urging residents of the island state in the middle of the Pacific Ocean to be prepared if the rogue nation decides to attack the U. S.
According to the news outlet, an ICBM loaded with a nuclear warhead would take about 20 minutes to reach Hawaii. Residents there would have anywhere between eight and 12 minutes notice of the incoming strike.
«We need to tell the public what the state is doing, » said Vern Miyagi, administrator of Hawaii’s emergency management agency. «We do not want to cause any undue stress for the public; however, we have a responsibility to plan for all hazards.
