All would be well if I was assured of the "one thing needful" in this life.

"What would you do if you presently lived in a country like South Korea?"
...or Japan?
I'd prepare emergency packs for everyone in the household, map where to find shelter nearby, and avoid high level targets to the extent possible. It probably wouldn't do any good in Korea (it might in Japan) since we are dealing with uncivilized savages who are as likely as not to target civilian shelters. But one should make the effort. Being away from Seoul would be a good thing, but I wouldn't try moving once the problems start - you'd be better off hunkering down where you are in the best cover available, rather than being caught in the open in congestion.
Or, if I had a Canadian passport, I'd go home to attend to some pressing business for a few weeks.
Hi Brian. I might be inclined to put yourself and your family on a plane and come home to Canada for a holiday for a while. In Christian bonds
I don't have any more information than you, but please consider my advice. I felt led to send you this message, I can't explain why.
I was stationed in South Korea for 14 months. On the flight over, we were watching a news feed of a N.K. Sub which had crashed into the R.O.K. shore. All crew members on board were killed by what was believed to be N.K. Special Forces who were being transported by the crew. Several were found. Intel indicated there were several more on the run in the R.O.K. The nationals were not really that supprised & talked little of it.
There were multiple firefights, even mortar launches over the DMZ.
Point: Escalating saber rattling was customary and expected. I think the people that live in R.O.K. would be FAR more Nervous if N.K. Suddenly when silent for an extended period of time.
Is it possible to contact the Canadian Embassy and inquire as to what actions you should take?

Im always quick to crash people when they start talking about impending NK problems. It happened anuually for almost 60 years. But the current "saber rattling" is unprecedented and deserves more cation then previous moments.

Agreed. But are they anywhere as uncivilized and savage as the hegemon that has recently engaged in war games all around their borders? And flown two B-2's right at them to drop ordinance on a nearby island? Or flown nuclear-capable B-52's on the edge of their airspace? The one that has over 40 years slaughtered 55 million children? I trow that if any nation had done those sorts of things around the "Exceptional Empire" there'd already have been missiles in the air long ago. As savage as those nasty little NK's are, they are rank amateurs in comparison when we're talking bloodshed.uncivilized savages
If you are a visitor to the country or there for a limited period, I would seriously consider returning to your home country. If on the other hand you are a South Korean then all you can do is use some common sense and take any advice the government may give about what to do in the event of war.
We do have to remember the providence of God in all this and during war or peace to realise our times are in his hands.
Brian, I was thinking to ask you tonight how things were for you over there in SK, so coincidently enough you posted a link to fill us in. I need to take a flight to the south of Japan early next week for a few days so I'm a little concerned about leaving my family up here in Tokyo and being separated should Japan get sucked into this (even further).
We'll remember to pray for one another, yeah?
Brian,
I would prepare to the best of my ability, even if it's gathering up supplies to leave a major city area where things would probably be hit first, then I would watch the American's. If they start calling to evacuate civilian family members then you know it's time to take refuge--even in leaving the country or moving to a planned out area.
Given you are a Foreigner to the land how difficult would it be to start getting things in order for you and your family just in case there is a need to evacuate? Do you have visa's, passports and what not for your family members? Make sure you have all of those things readily available and cash on hand (because electricity would be out to where you couldn't get 'cash'). Make sure you have medical supplies--if you can make up a first aid kit do so, that way if you can't evacuate you have it. Make a 'bug out bag'--(extra clothes, blankets, socks, good walking or hiking boots, if you can get things like trail mix or granola bars, fruit snacks, if you are near a military base see if you could get meals ready to eat, if you can bottle water, or buy bottled water, start doing so--any medications just in case you need them.) IF you can get a gun and ammo (not sure of their laws, so if you can get that too) if you have access to bleach or iodine, get that to purify water.

maybe stock up on toilet paper, or material that you could use for that purpose (maybe old shirts)
If you can find a solar charger you might what to look for one of those if you don't have one.
Boxes or books of matches put in a water proof bag..get a book that tells you what plants are edible that way you can collect fresh food, a fishing pole and supplies for fishing..
But if you can evacuate w/ your family...that would be the best..but in case you can't these are things you can be working to have on hand to be some what prepared..(and if God takes your family home and not go through such a war, someone else may find those supplies helpful)
