00:48It tells readers which radio stations to tune into for emergency alerts, where to find bomb shelters, and what supplies to pack in a go bag.
00:57Defense officials hope that the more people understand the threats they face and the actions they can take during wartime, the better they'll be able to react if the time comes.
