Bill in USA Congress to ready USA for a nuclear attack emergency

Bipartisan bill allows Washington to prepare for nuclear attack https://mynorthwest.com/628630/bi-partisan-bill-allows-washington-to-prepare-for-nuclear-attack/ BY KIRO RADIO STAFF, Staff report   | May 10, 2017 As North Korea threatens to nuke the United States, a new bill in the Legislature would allow Washington state to prepare for it.

Current state law requires an “all-hazard emergency plan for the natural, technological, or human-caused hazards which could affect” citizens. But a law passed in 1984 says that any such plan “may not include preparation for emergency evacuation or relocation of residents in anticipation of nuclear attack.”

They say recent tensions between the U.S. and North Korea makes the idea timely.
