Question:

How long will it take for a North Korean missile to reach Hawaii?

 

Answer:

North Korean missile will reach Hawaii approximately 20 minutes. With such a short warning time, the state’s advice is “get inside, stay inside, and stay tuned” for radio instructions. After U.S. Pacific Command warns Hawaii Emergency Management that a missile is on its way, approximately only 12 to 15 minutes  would be left to warn the public.
