Japan's Preparedness For Worst As Tension On North Korea Raises

HARA, JAPAN - OCTOBER 12: A woman uses a computer inside a nuclear shelter on October 12, 2017 in Hara, Nagano, Japan. Some people are preparing for the worst case scenario as tensions rise between North Korea and United States, as well as North Korean ballistic missile threats. The Oribe Seiki Seisakusho Co, Ltd. is one of the main manufacturers of nuclear shelters. Oribes nuclear shelter is in very high demand, especially since April 2017 after North Korea fired three intermediate-range Hwasong -12 ballistic missile tests. It takes about five months to construct a nuclear shelter four meters below the ground with 50cm thick walls and a reinforced concrete beam, and costs between 18-25 million Japanese yen depending on ground location and order.
