Hawaii to Test Early Warning System as Nuclear Threat Between U.S. and N. Korea Rises
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As nuclear tensions between the U.S. and North Korea continue to
escalate, Hawaii is preparing to test its early warning system aimed at
warning residents about a nuclear attack. The test, slated for Friday,
will be the first time Hawaii has deployed the warning system since the
1990s, after the Cold War ended. This is Hawaii's administrator of
emergency management.

Vern Miyagi: "The basic guidance, if you hear this, is get inside, stay
inside and stay tuned. It sounds simple but when you have such a short
time, about 12 minutes after we get the notification, 12-13 minutes,
that is about all you can do."
