Starting April 1, Japan's Fire and Disaster Management Agency will send email alerts to residents' phones should North Korea start lobbing missiles. The messages would be sent using the nation's already-functional J-Alert, a free system designed to notify people about earthquakes and tsunamis. The missile-warning service is aimed specifically at those who use NTT Docomo, KDDI au and Softbank Mobile devices. Information contained in the missile messages would include the direction of the missile(s), and whether or not an evacuation is needed.Japan to Fire Off Emails in Event of Incoming Missile
