PAJU, SOUTH KOREA - DECEMBER 15: Emergency service personnel in chemical protection clothing participate in a civil defense exercise on December 15, 2010 in Paju, South Korea. The nationwide exercises are intended to better prepare citizens for emergencies as tensions continue to rise following an artillery exchange between the two nations last month. The 20 minute exercise kicked off with air raid sirens with pedestrians required to head to designated bomb shelters and drivers required to stop their vehicles for 15 minutes.
