Guam issues terrifying fact sheet on preparing for "imminent missile threat"



http://www.rawstory.com/2017/08/do-not-look-at-the-flash-guam-issues-terrifying-fact-sheet-on-preparing-for-imminent-missile-threat/

The Guam Joint Information Center—“the official local, military, and federal clearinghouse for accurate information on emergencies”—on Friday released an “in case of emergency” fact sheet detailing what residents of the Western Pacific U.S. territory should do to “[prepare] for an imminent missile threat.”

The fact sheet urges residents build an emergency supply kit that includes water, plastic sheeting and a three-day supply of non-perishable food, and craft a family emergency plan complete with “a list of potential concrete shelters near your home, workplace and school.” The fallout shelters should be “dense enough (i.e. concrete) to absorb radiation given off by fallout particles.”

In the event of an attack, the guidance tells residents to “stay where you are, even if you are separated from your family … Remember the three protective factors: Distance, Shielding and Time.”

The two-page pamphlet was originally created four years ago and “dusted off” in light of escalating rhetoric between the United States and North Korea, the Washington Post reports. Despite Trump’s pledge of “fire and fury” if the rogue nation continues to threaten the United States, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un has ramped up rhetoric against the United States, promising to carry out a detailed plan to launch missiles into the waters near Guam.

Local child and adolescent psychiatrist Kirk Bellis said most residents who are worked up about the latest North Korea news should recognize it's a situation beyond their control.....If the news or other stressors becomes an issue for you, Unpingco recommends breathing exercises to help calm down.
