US agency to prepare citizens for APOCALYPTIC reality of North Korea nuke blast<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

THE US CDC agency have declared – just days after Donald Trump threatened to push the nuclear button – that nationwide preparation for a nuclear explosion was underway.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Centre for Disease Control (CDC) said a national panel was meeting imminently to discuss preparations that needed to be made in the case of an apocalyptic nuclear blast.<\/span><\/p>\n

This announcement comes just days after US President Donald Trump bragged about the effectiveness of his “Nuclear Button” – in response to North Korean provocation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The public forum, scheduled to take place on January 16th, will address “planning and preparations” for the country in the event of a nuclear strike.<\/span><\/p>\n

Former Vice President Joe Biden said in recent days that the US has never been closer to nuclear war with North Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n

The CDC spokesperson said: “A nuclear detonation would have devastating results and there would be limited time to take critical protection steps.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Despite the fear surrounding such an event, planning and preparation can lessen deaths and illness.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The agency admits most people “don\u2019t realize that sheltering in place for at least 24 hours is crucial to saving lives and reducing exposure to radiation”.<\/span><\/p>\n

President Trump and the North Korean regime have been engaged in an escalating battle of threats and a war of words over nuclear confrontation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kim Jong-un has even claimed that a nuclear bomb in his country can now easily reach Washington DC.<\/span><\/p>\n

In response, Mr Trump has threatened to “totally destroy” the country with a population of 25million people.<\/span><\/p>\n

International Relations and Foreign Policy Expert Jim Scott told ABC: “Although this has been planned since Spring 2017, and not a knee-jerk response to the President’s tweets, the publicized effort of it suggests experts feel there is a heightened concern.<\/span><\/p>\n

“This comes quick on the heels of US security personnel noting that we are closer to nuclear confrontation with North Korea than ever before.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We were once well-informed during the Cold War but once that ended, we stopped talking about it or teaching it in schools.<\/span><\/p>\n

“You would be hard-pressed to find someone on the street who knew what to do in the event of a nuclear blast.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Jeffery Lewis, a nuclear policy expert, added that “there would be survivors for days trying to make their way out of the rubble and back home, dying of radiation poisoning”.<\/span><\/p>\n
