Non-combatant Evacuation Operations are a key component in maintaining readiness in overseas communities. It all starts at the processing line where documents checks begin the voyage to a safe haven.

Cool video. Not your fault, but it would have been cool if the reporter gave more information about where to go.

Thanks man, very useful.

So does the evacuation cost anything? Haha, sorry I had to ask. I just read about how much it costs to ship a dead body back to the States so...

Looks like the same places they had back in '96

1. Why are people worrying about it now, honestly nothing is going to happen (knock on wood!!)

2. What most people don't know, yet was posted here once was that once you are evac'ed out, you are liable for the expense incurred during the rescue operation, I heard it was somewhere in the ballpark of about $5000.

Why bother?
This is my evac plan.

PLAN-A;
Get down to the nearest harbor on the west coast and take the next available ferry to China. There, I can either apply for refugee status from the UN refugee organization or look for a teaching job there.

PLAN-B;
Get down to the nearest harbor on the east coast and take the next available ferry to Japan. At leas there, I could find a somewhat decent job and save up for my flight back to the US.

What about us Canadians? Will the Americans take us in?? (sorry for all those times we, uh, said stuff about your president... Laughing

heh heh... errr.... yeah) And what about Taegu? I didn't see any evac centers there. Oh well, I'm toast I guess. Rolling Eyes

As for running towards the coasts, not a bad idea. But the invasion plan of the North Koreans uses their special op forces to take control of the coastline, while the masses invade from the north. Crying or Very sad

I don't think we have anything to worry about. Just hope the US doesn't do another pre-emptive strike... Confused

Sorry for all those faces, but this post was an emotional rollercoaster.

The Americans in Kuwait needed no plan as they were (mostly) evacuated by the Brits.

They sailed out on the "Britannia", then the Queen's yacht. Not sure how much they were charged.

It would be just like it was in Saigon in 75 when the north took over! Helter Sketler! Everyone and whoever trying to get on board the helicopter! Including people who love to bad mouth America would be begging for a ride out!

I wouldn't put too much faith in the United States helping out any civilians.

My family was in Lesotho during the second revolt against the monarchy back in the 80s when they started shooting the foreigners and we were hold up in our house with no way to get to the airport.

The American embassy said tough luck, you're not embassy personnel, find your own way out.

So we called up the British Embassy and they sent over a squad of Royal Marines and some Ghurkas to help get us to the airport and the British Ambassador paid for our plane tickets on the last flight out out of his own pocket.
