Facing A Nuclear Attack

According to the article, the United States feared a North Korean nuclear threat on the Hawaiian Islands on January 13th. Luckily no attack occurred, but what if it did? What would Hawaiian natives do? How should they react if the bomb did strike? Most of us never experienced duck and cover drills that were practiced in school throughout the nation during the Cold War. Although we learned about these drills, we look back and laugh at the ineffectiveness of these procedures if there was a nuclear attack. No student desk, a school, or in fact an entire city can withstand the force of the bomb so the question is what do we do?

The article states that that if this bomb were to go off and you see the flash, you'll be dead instantly. But for those "lucky ones" who are able to react should proceed to move below ground zero to a secure shelter. But will these shelters actually work? We wouldn't know because the United States has never experienced a nuclear bomb on its ground.

In my opinion, if we ever did face a nuclear attack, there really isn't anything could possibly do as individuals .For the few that survive the blast, you still have to survive through all the fallouts and wreckage while getting to the "secured shelter." While most people will die during this procedure, we still have to face the aftermath of the bombs radiation. We are all aware of the effects that it had on the Japanese in the 1940's. How exactly are we supposed to deal with all of that? I personally have no idea and would like to hear all of your opinions!
