They use radar and optical tracking of satellites as they go overhead to determine their possible mission.
I have no doubt North Korea is more of a threat than most people think they are, but I trust the intelligence community about as far as I can throw my truck when it's fully loaded.

Others will step up, just like they always do. Neighbors helping neighbors. Depending upon the time of year, gardens would be planted, and cared for.

Turning contaminated water into potable isn't rocket science, but many don't know how. So, diseases. But it only takes one person, myself as an example, to show many how to do just that. Then they show others, and viola, many of those who might die, might not.
Planting a garden, and protecting it from bugs, and birds and other pests... It's hard work, but again, extraordinarily learnable, not to mention teachable. Preservation, either through drying, canning, salting...hard work, but not hard to learn. I know all these things, and I'll bet I could teach a bunch of you how to do it.
