That’s the emergency advice given to the Japanese people in the event of a North Korean missile strike. But there are two big problems: most Japanese homes are made of wood and lack a basement. And with only a matter of minutes from launch to impact, there’s simply no time to take cover. “The government told us to take cover in a stable building or underground, but there isn’t one here. It’s not going to throw missiles on our heads.”But polls show the Japanese are far from blase about the threat.
