North Korea, Things are Heating UP!

By Courtney Kube and Ian Johnston, NBC News:

 

North Korea put its rocket units on standby Friday to attack U.S. military bases in South Korea and the Pacific, after repeated threats and one day after two American stealth bombers flew over the Korean Peninsula in a military exercise.

A U.S. official warned that the isolated communist state is “not a paper tiger” and its reaction should not be dismissed as “pure bluster.”

According to the North Korea's official KCNA news agency, the country's leader Kim Jong Un “judged the time has come to settle accounts with the U.S. imperialists in view of the prevailing situation” at a midnight meeting of top generals, Reuters reported.

Editors comments from So Cal Fire Journal:

Not only does the fire service have to be ready for fires, floods and earthquakes, we have to be ready for a military attack on US soil. I hope the Cal Chiefs are really meeting in earnest to protect mass populations for a major attack should it occur. These threats are not idle bluster coming from North Korea and we need to be ready for anything that should come our way.

We are gearing up for a dangerous wildfire season in California and we have no margin for error. Preparedness is every ones responsibility, food, water, shelter, health care, the basic needs for survival. Residents can not rely on local government resources so each person has to be ready. Batteries, drinking water, blankets, food storage, first aid supplies, we have all heard it before, be prepared.

Stay informed, be prepared, act locally in a responsible manner and help those in need.
