State-of-the-art Patriot missiles will be deployed to protect key facilities in central Tokyo, such as the Diet Building and the Prime Minister's Official Residence, under a Defense Ministry plan for emergency situations, according to sources.

The missiles can protect areas within a radius of 20 kilometers from the launch sites. To accomplish their new mission, the missiles will be transported to Self-Defense Forces garrisons in Nerima and Ichigaya in Tokyo from the Air SDF Iruma base in southern Saitama Prefecture, the sources said.

I'm within the 20 km radius.:)

You are living in a safer place where there are not important military facilities, thus less likely to be attacked.:D
