I think this is a wake up call for the entire country.  We don't have a system in place locally that anyone knows about.  Personally, we have a system for a house fire, but nothing for a missile launch or an earthquake or a volcanic eruption.

Hella Mitschke Rothwell Reminds me of the old "duck and cover" days. With what is going on in theworld today, I would seek shelter.

Edit: I just read where this was a false alarm. Still it is better to be safe than sorry.

I woke up to people somewhat freaking out. I wasn't really too worried, I believe the gov't has a bead on anything they will throw at us. On another note, when it's time to go it's time to go, I don't think a shelter is going to make any difference. I trust God for my life, same thing when I paddle out in the ocean.

15 minutes wouldn't give me time - I would huddle in my house and know that if it's my time, it's my time! Panic is not a typical response for me so, I am fairly sure logic would prevail!

I can't believe that happened - I feel for the tourists, not knowing what on earth was going on too!

Find the best concrete shelter I could in the shortest amount of time and depending on my distance from the blast seek out a more permanent and better concrete shelter if time permits afterward. The explosion is only the initial part to deal with while nuclear fallout can be a threat for days, weeks and months depending on proximity to ground zero. Ypu'll be more likely to survive if you're at least 10 miles from it's center. A plan and a false alarm is much better than an actual nuclear attack and no plan.

Hi Hella. It was horrible. It was my father who called me telling me about the alert. The state waited 38 minutes. My parents were frantically thinking they were going to die, there were vehicle accidents like on Mapunapuna, and young children were put in storm drains for safety. I am not amused.

What would I do?

First if China were to attack Hawai'i as North Korea is trivial compared to China the attack would happen when Washington DC is asleep 12 a.m. to 3 a.m. which is 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Hawai'i time.

If I was stuck in the city I would head to Ali'i olani Hale which is made of concrete. If not race to one of the tunnels either Pali Highway or H3. WalMarts are an option too. If all else fails if they are at home which is when it is likely to happen lie face down in the middle of their home. I already warned my family.

It's no joke when you have kids to keep calm and totally believe that this is happening! We have to believe in the government to at least send us these alerts - to every phone in the Hawaiian islands - that there is a basis in fact. NO, NOT GO TO TWITTER IF THIS IS FAKE NEWS! And would you believe it? What the hell is this country coming to?

Great question Hella Mitschke Rothwell and we should all have an answer with the North Korean Kook making threats. Living 15 miles from an Air Force Base and a missile command base I think a missle strike in my neighborhood is a very likely thing. I'm not sure where our nearest shelter is but I'm going to find out.

Pop open a bottle and toast the future. 15 minutes spent in mass panic vs the comfort of my home with the same result, but a different last day experience.

I don't panic, been through too many fires, droughts, earthquakes and even a flood. This wolf muses at the sheep.

Very scary thing that happened in Hawaii and Happy it was a false alarm. Now, finally we will make corrections and all of us will have a plan on what to do when the next one is real. My brother-in-law, his wife and 2 children live on Oahu. There is no place to run if you are on an island. There is now some talk about moving near us in Tennessee. Nothing to bomb here. Wish we could get rid of all nuecleaur weapons from this planet, but unfortunately that is not going to happen.
