In this case however I believe they want everyone to receive it regardless of being a test. I believe S. Korea also just did this test including locations of nearby bunkers. The US may not have that many accessible bunkers.
- wildzzz 3y agoThe US has some bunkers but unless you are some high government official or just work at the bunker, you're not getting in. Some people have their own bunkers but it's incredibly rare. Many people that live in tornado-prone areas have tornado shelters. In many parts of the US, below-grade basements are not a thing. Half of my basement is below ground but unfortunately the part that isn't, faces nearby Washington DC making it pretty useless for that.
