Emergency response officials in Hawaii do not want to be caught flat-footed if North Korea launches a missile attack – and are launching a campaign meant to inform, but not frighten, residents over how to prepare in case the rogue regime does the unthinkable. While the threat of a ballistic missile from North Korea is assessed to be low, preparedness plans have been in development since December 2016. U.S. intelligence officials now believe North Korea is capable of launching a missile 4,000 miles, which is within range of the Hawaiian islands and their 1.4 million residents. State emergency officials have argued against updating shelters since residents would have a limited window to find shelter once a missile had been launched. You need to take shelter right now,” Toby Clairmont, executive officer for the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency, told KHON-2 TV.
