But replace "Hawaii" with your location.

I'd be setting off the pair of sirens I own, then awaiting the inevitable. Thankfully I live in an area where the chance of being vaporized is quite high.

I will do the following:
Duck and cover
Meh, I'm in Scotland and the nearest even vaguely major city is 30 miles away, they could be setting off tsar bombas and I'd be fine from the several km of solid rock from various winding hills between me and the blast, probably wouldn't even feel much of a pressure wave. Probably just start filling every container I can find with clean water.

Seek immediate shelter, probably. And wonder why someone would send a ballistic missile to New Hampshire.
My phone is usually dead, misplaced, or the volume is at 0%. So I would probably crack a beer and stand on the porch wondering why the neighbors are freaking out.
You will likely still hear the cell broadcast. Alerts of this level make every phone give off a piercing sound and even if your phone is dead, you will hear it from your neighbours' because it's loud.
If you have a good emergency infrastructure in your country, the volume being at 0% should not be an issue.

Assuming it's nuclear, sit around and mourn the fact I don't have a basement. Hope that either A: missle defence works, or B: I'm in the evaporation zone. Radiation sickness sounds awful.
Even if the explosion and fallout completely missed my area, I think EMP disruption would be a huge issue and lots of people would be panicking, stealing, murdering trying to survive.

I live with my mom and my wife 40 mins from the vancouver city centreβ¦ Honestly Iβd probably go sit with my wife, kiss them βn hope for the best.
Also sobbing, that too. Canβt forget that.

I'm going to get some beer and weed and enjoy the rest of my day.
Immediately get in my car and drive like a bat out of hell out of my city. Itβs small but itβs for sure a nuclear target
Same but towards the blast. I've seen Threads, I ain't hanging around for that shit.

I would not believe that message, because real warnings would not be that specific around here, and they also would never add that funny phrase " this is not a drill"
(Actual drills outside of the military are announced at least several days in advance, if they expect people to cooperate)

I guess I'd seek shelter π€·ββοΈ
I'm all prepared to host a NYE party so would probably be like the This is the End frat pack movie.
This is how this situation was depicted in a made for TV movie on NBC. https://youtu.be/n28NoLNarNs
Not realistic. It supposedly 1983 but they refer to USSR as Russia. Dissolution wasn't until 1991. Literally unwatchable.
The way they depict the almost autonomous responses of those in charges of firing the nukes is unnerving.
If you're my family, sleep through it while I frantically close windows because I didn't know what else to do. Most Hawaii homes have no basements usually, so its kind of just fucked
Sweden, costal village north of Stockholm.
If a missile is on it's way, I'd send a text to my near and dear with a quick "missile incomming, love you, if I don't make it, you can have X".
Then go to bed in my walk in closet.
I live alone in my flat, top floor, no proper shelter in my general area.
