There are other sources---Google News, The Marmot's Hole---for information and updates about the latest North Korean attack, though it's perhaps worth sharing again Chris in South Korea's May post on emergency evacuation information, with contact information for several foreign embassies in South Korea of interest to English teachers there and tips on how to prepare for a quick exit.
The link to the US Embassy page shared in that post is broken
It's too early to speculate on how necessary any evacuation procedures may be, though the naval attack and missile tests of recent memory have inspired debate on whether North Korean aggression will scare you away from signing or completing a contract. It may also be paradoxically, um, reassuring to know that skirmishes and firefights between North and South Korea aren't uncommon. Not included on the list was the 1998 sinking of a North Korean submarine off the coast of Yeosu.

And those of us on Jeju are still screwed. Guess we're swimming to Busan.
Yep, and as you remember that was the case back in May when I first posted about the Areas. I'll reiterate your best bet is to swim to Dokdo, which will no doubt be among the most heavily fortified of areas in South Korea.
Or, more simply, catch a ferry somewhere else. A government-led evacuation will I'm sure be a clusterfuck.
Now that things have calmed down a bit, it's hopefully a moot point... All the same, I fixed the link that was broken to the same one you mentioned.
If you're on Jeju, I suspect by the time the fight reaches you, there wouldn't anywhere else to run.
The stste department suggests that instead of driving or taking the subway, I should walk 5.6 km in this weather to Mokdong, if we wanted to be evacuated. I guess they just expect me to leave my elderly in-laws to be bayoneted by the Norks. Not gonna happen.
