Chilling WARNING issued on how families should prepare for North Korean NUCLEAR missiles

A HARROWING warning on what to do in the event of a nuclear attack from North Korea has been announced by the Head of the National Centre for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University’s Earth Institute.

Last weekend people across Hawaii scrambled for safety when a warning message about an inbound missile was sent to mobile phones and shown on television.
Now, the National Centre for Disaster Preparedness has claimed that not enough people are prepared for what to do if a missile strike was imminent.
Dr. Irwin Redlener said: “It’s a real possibility.

“City officials should be talking about what their citizens should do if an attack happened.
“And it’s a necessity for individuals and families to talk about and develop their own plan of what they would do.”
The centre has claimed that the mistaken Hawaii warning acts as the perfect opportunity to teach people what to do if there is an attack.

In December last year, the island started testing its nuclear alert siren to check it still worked, it is the first time that the siren has been used since the end of the Cold War.
However, despite the same old alarm system still in use today, Columbia University’s disaster department say that the action people should take if under threat has changed since the height of nuclear fallout.
Dr Redlener said: “We’re not facing what we were facing 50 years ago when the Soviet Union and the US had nuclear warheads pointed at each other that would devastate the world.

“There’s a threat, but it’s a different type of threat today.”
Across the US there are tens of thousands of old nuclear shelters, with 18,000 in New York alone.
However, built in the 1960s they were abandoned in the 1970s and have now aged.
According to Eliot Calhoun, a disaster planner for New York’s Emergency Management Department, the best thing to do if there was an attack from Kim Jong-un’s hermit state would be to remain indoors.

He said: “Don’t go outside unless you absolutely must.”
The expert advised that if there was an area telling people to take immediate shelter the best things to do would be to hide in a building with as few windows and as many walls as possible.
He also said that should North Korea launch a missile, there would be around 15 to 20minutes for people to take cover.

Why States Still Use Barrel Bombs

Smoke ascends after a Syrian military helicopter allegedly dropped a barrel bomb over the city of Daraya on Jan. 31.(FADI DIRANI/AFP/Getty Images) Summary Barrel bombs are not especially effective weapons. They are often poorly constructed; they fail to detonate more often than other devices constructed for a similar purpose; and their lack of precision means they can have a disproportionate effect on civilian populations. However, combatants continue to use barrel bombs in conflicts, including in recent and ongoing conflicts in Africa and the Middle East, and they are ideally suited to the requirements of resource-poor states. Analysis Barrel bombs are improvised devices that contain explosive filling and shrapnel packed into a container, often in a cylindrical shape such as a barrel. The devices continue to be dropped on towns all over Syria . Indeed, there have been several documented cases of their use in Iraq over the past months, and residents of the city of Mosul, which was re

Russia Looks East for New Oil Markets

Click to Enlarge In the final years of the Soviet Union, Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev began orienting his foreign policy toward Asia in response to a rising Japan. Putin has also piloted a much-touted pivot to Asia, coinciding with renewed U.S. interest in the area. A good expression of intent was Russia's hosting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in 2012 in Vladivostok, near Russia's borders with China and North Korea. Although its efforts in Asia have been limited by more direct interests in Russia's periphery and in Europe, Moscow recently has been able to look more to the east. Part of this renewed interest involves finding new export markets for Russian hydrocarbons. Russia's economy relies on energy exports, particularly crude oil and natural gas exported via pipeline to the West. However, Western Europe is diversifying its energy sources as new supplies come online out of a desire to reduce its dependence on Russian energy supplies . This has
