Guam publishes fact sheet on 'preparing for an imminent missile threat'

Guam Homeland Security has released a fact sheet on how to be prepared for an "imminent missile threat."

As tensions between the United States and North Korea escalate -- and as Kim Jong Un and his hermit regime threaten to direct "enveloping fire" at the American island of Guam -- an advisory has been issued on how the 160,000 people who live there can ready themselves.

- "Don't look at the flash or fireball - it can blind you!" it warns.

- Take shelter as soon as you can. Radioactive fallout can be carried by wind for miles.

- Remove your clothing to keep radioactive material from spreading.

- Shower, or if you can't use a wipe or wet cloth to get rid of radioactive material.

While some are preparing in this way, many are taking it a step further -- they are investing in a bomb shelter.

Bomb shelter business professionals say this industry is literally exploding.

The general manager of Rising S Bunkers in Texas told the Miami Herald in January that sales were up 700 percent since President Donald Trump was elected.

These investments are no cheap purchase, though. Atlas Survival introduced their cheapest option - the Bombnado- for $18,999.

If that's out of your budget, there's always Guam's safety fact sheet.
