Chris in South Korea has compiled the information provided, in some cases, by embassies in South Korea on what to do and where to go in case of emergency evacuation. The United States embassy says Gwangju, Jeollanam-do, Jeollabuk-do except Gunsan, and the two Gyeongsang provinces comprise Area 4, an area with three evacuation points for American citizens, the nearest one to most Jeollanam-do residents being Chinhae (Jinhae, 진해).
Chris, and the embassies that provide information to their citizens online, reiterates the need to have an emergency kit ready with not only food and supplies, but your important paperwork. It's also advisable to register with your embassy.

Alas, I live on Jeju... and the U.S. Embassy appears to have forgotten my little island.
Yeah, I noticed that. Maybe the North has forgotten it exists, too. Your best bet will be to stay put, or try to find passage to Dokdo, sure to be heavily fortified.
I like Chris's point the Canadian embassy seems to stress Canadians will be required to fund their rescue but light on details about when and where. "Well, we kind of you know sort of do it with other countries 'n' junk and just have your wallet with you. K?"
This is all quite unnecessary.
