(CNN) Hawaii is set to become the first state in the US to test an "attack- warning" system in the event of a North Korean nuclear missile strike.

Starting in November, Hawaii's disaster warning plan will include a new protocol in case of a nuclear attack, CNN affiliate KNHL reports. But some are concerned the announcement will scare off tourists from visiting the island.

I really doubt if many of the folks who actually live here give a s**t about North Korea. Kim chee, maybe, Kim Jung On, not.

So, give it a rest

Japan already has a nuclear alert system in place and they're not seen as a dangerous place to visit. Hopefully it will seem the same for Hawaii.

Hmm, interesting. So in case of a nuclear strike, we are supposed to go inside and stay there for 14 days? Wonder how they came up with that number of days to stay inside? And what constitutes 'inside'? Wouldn't radiation go through window glass?

Here's a list of the wars North Korea has been in, although these would have been with his dad, Kim Il-Sung and not the current leader of North Korea. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...ng_North_Korea Of course, it's just a Wikipedia link, but it shows that North Korea gets into a variety of altercations.

I'm just curious how people there are looking at it. I honestly don't believe such a threat would materialize, but is something to think about and converse about over a few beers with friends.

Nothing wrong to prepare. But I don't know anyone in Hawaii who cares. I'm confident with Honolulu being the headquarters of the US Pacific fleet we are well defended.

If we were going to worry, there's the Fukushima nuclear radiation already here. I know someone who moved to Columbia when Fukushima lost control of their nuclear reactor after the tsunami because she was worried about the radiation arriving here.. The rest of us are still here, though. I haven't seen much effects of any nuclear fallout from Fukushima, but I'm sure they'd be subtle and something that would show up over a long length of time.

Same thing was said about Japan in the 30s/40s. There's nothing wrong with being prepared.

Yes, because that would be a good comparison.

We are better off preparing for a 1,000 foot high mega tsunami.

As unlikely as this threat is, it's at least a million times greater than North Korea successfully dropping a nuke on us.

This North Korea threat is just a bunch of garbage. Seriously.

This is fear-mongering to the max.

I highly doubt N. Korea will even fire an ICBM towards Hawaii or Alaska.

Kim Jong-In is not that stupid. He know that his "kingdom" will be in complete ashes if he dares to shoot any missile at the US.

Once again, just plain stupid fear-mongering.
