EMPs

One of the biggest and scariest mega-disasters that can potentially occur in our era is an EMP. An EMP, or electromagnetic pulse, is a massive surge of energy that can overload electrical grids and disable, damage, or destroy electronic components and many of the things we use every day and rely on. But EMPs of […]

The looming threat of a massive EMP has been hanging over the heads of our society, and indeed the world, for some time now. Caused by unstoppable solar phenomena, nuclear warheads, and specialized weapons, an EMP that’s strong enough could completely disable our society, frying the electrical grid, everything attached to it, and nearly anything

Unless you have actually been living in a remote underground bunker for the past couple of decades, chances are pretty good that you are aware of the existential threat posed by EMPs. Electromagnetic pulses, whether created by natural solar phenomena or man-made weapon systems of one kind or another, can potentially destroy our electrical grid

One of the biggest threats preppers have been forced to acknowledge in recent decades is that of a major EMP, or electromagnetic pulse. Created by man-made weapon systems and natural solar activity, EMPs will completely knock out our power grid, and likely damage most, if not all, electronic systems and components. There are said to

Around 2010, it seemed like the only thing being discussed in the prepping community was the risk of an EMP. Compared to zombies, gamma-ray bursts, a 2nd Civil War, and all the other mega-doomsday disasters, a powerful EMP created by nuclear weapons or solar activity seemed far and away the most likely thing that could

Blanketing an entire region, or even much of the globe, in destructive electromagnetic energy that can completely fry or disable electronics, an EMP has the potential to plunge civilization back into the Stone Age, or at least to the pre-industrial age. And whether it is caused by a nuclear warhead, some kind of specialty weapon,

One of the most frighteningly real and, the way things are going, most plausible mega-disasters that might befall society come in the form of EMPs. Whether they’re astoundingly powerful cosmic phenomena, generated by a high-altitude nuclear detonation or instigated by a specialty EMP weapon, these electromagnetic events have the capability of plunging entire regions, maybe

Out of all of the many super disasters that preppers are getting ready for, probably one of the most probable is that of a powerful EMP event. An EMP, or electromagnetic pulse, could be created by a nuclear detonation, naturally occurring cosmic phenomena, or even specialty EMP generator weapons and completely disabled or even totally

Probably the single most plausible, if not the most likely, mega-disaster facing the modern world today is that posed by an EMP. Specifically, any nuclear- or non-nuclear EMP has the potential to cause widespread, catastrophic damage to the power grid, electronics and any other technology that relies on electronic components. The disruption might be temporary,

One of the most common disasters that can possibly befall you is a simple power outage. Nothing worse than a passing storm could knock out power in your neighborhood or community, but larger disasters and true catastrophes could knock out the power grid for weeks or even months at a time. Something truly apocalyptic like
