Hawaii prepares plan in response to North Korea missile threat

North Korea missile threat
Hawaii is not taking any chances following North Korea's most recent missile launch on the Fourth of July.


The Aloha State is taking steps to assemble an evacuation plan for civilians on the island, in order to prepare for a potential intercontinental ballistic missile attack, The Washington Post reported.

The state's Emergency Management Agency said the measure is not aiming to disrupt the regular pace of the local economy, but to stay ready in the face of rising threats.

"We do not want to cause any undue stress for the public," said Vern T. Miyagi, the agency's administrator, but "we cannot wait to begin our public information campaign to ensure that Hawaii residents will know what do if such an event occurs."

Evacuation drills are being planned for schools, with public service announcements advising people to "get inside, stay inside, and stay tuned" to be aired during drills, the Honolulu Star Advertiser reported.

North Korea claimed its most recent missile, the Hwasong-14, is an ICBM capable of targeting the United States.
