The University of Hawaii sent an email to all students detailing the decisive action that should be taken in the event of a nuclear attack on the US’ closest state to North Korea.
The email reads: “In light of concerns about North Korea missile tests, state and federal agencies are providing information about nuclear threats and what to do in the unlikely event of a nuclear attack and radiation emergency.”
Pyongyang’s palpable nuclear threat is demonstrated further from the subject of the email that reads “in the event of a nuclear attack”.
Dan Meisenzahl, the Director of Communications at the university, has stated that in hindsight the email should have been re-worded by stating the “last thing” he wanted to do was cause “any unnecessary concern”.
The contents of the email give information on how to deal with despot leader Kim Jong-un’s nuclear threat by informing students on where to take shelter.
The email sits in line with the state’s preparations that were implemented in July regarding the nuclear concern.
Hawaii seems a likely target in the event of a nuclear war due to the state’s close proximity to the isolationist nation than the rest of the US.
The email comes at a time leaders Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump find themselves fiercely locked in a war of words.
The President recently stated that North Korea is making “fools of US negotiators” and that “only one thing will work” in dealing with the hermit kingdom.
The US President tweeted: “Presidents and their administrations have been talking to North Korea for 25 years, agreements made and massive amounts of money paid hasn’t worked, agreements violated before the ink was dry, makings fools of US negotiators.
“Sorry, but only one thing will work!”
Budget Director Mick Mulvaney recently clarified comments from the leader.
He said: “I think what the president is clearly telegraphing, and this should not be news to anybody, is that military options are on the table with North Korea.
“They absolutely are.”
The US President also told reporters last week that the current state of world affairs “could be the calm before the storm”.
Mr Trump’s patience appears to be wearing thin after the Republican took aim at his Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who has pushed for a diplomatic solution to World War Three fears.
In a recent Tweet, Mr Trump said: “I told Rex Tillerson, our wonderful secretary of state, that he is wasting his time trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man.”
The US Forces Korea (USFK) recently announced the deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) system is a “tentative” attempt to foil any spontaneous plots from dictatorship’s leader.
