EMP stands for ElectroMagnetic Pulse. It’s a type of disaster that could literally bring part of the world to the Dark Ages. The power grid would collapse and, in some cases, most if not all your electronics will cease to function.
There are two known ways to prepare for an EMP:

One of the scariest and most likely society-toppling events that could happen is a large-scale EMP event. A large enough EMP could potentially knock out all power grids and electronic devices across an entire country, plunging us back to the pre-industrial age and into a state of anarchy and chaos. Most of us already know …
An EMP, or electromagnetic pulse, is a sudden burst of electromagnetic radiation. It can be caused by a number of things, including natural events like solar flares and man-made devices like nuclear weapons. When an EMP occurs, it can disrupt or even destroy electronic devices and power systems. These events are thought to be one …
An EMP, or electromagnetic pulse, is a burst of energy that can cause serious damage to electronic devices. It can be caused by a solar flare, a nuclear explosion, or even a high-altitude detonation of a specialty EMP generating weapon. When an EMP occurs, any unshielded devices vulnerable to it will be severely damaged or …
An electromagnetic pulse or EMP is a burst of electromagnetic radiation that can disable or damage electronic equipment. This type of pulse can be caused by a nuclear detonation, a lightning strike, or even a geomagnetic storm. While an EMP can be incredibly destructive, it doesn’t last forever. But knowing how long you need to …
When discussing the most serious natural disasters and catastrophic man-made events, there is one that you’ll often hear mentioned as among the very worst. An EMP. To hear some people tell it, an EMP, or electromagnetic pulse, has the potential to send much of civilization back to the Stone Age In the blink of an …
Most preppers spend a considerable amount of time theorizing and occasionally worrying over what disasters might lie in store. Much of this speculation is grounded in reality, concerned with such natural disasters as tornadoes, earthquakes, and hurricanes, along with man-made crises such as terrorist attacks and civil unrest. However, some peppers think “big picture”. Some …
EMP Survival: How to Prep for and Survive an Electromagnetic Pulse Read More »
We face many problems and ongoing threats in America today, but one of the most pervasive and the most pressing or threats to our power grid. It is difficult to understand just how important electricity is to our modern society, and most folks are totally, completely unprepared for a sustained loss of electricity. Far from …

If there are two things on most prepper’s minds concerning distinctively 21st century threats it is the illicit hijacking of our devices’ signals and the looming, Doomsday threat of EMP events. Concerning the latter, one of the only defenses we have for our vital electronics is placing them inside a Faraday cage enclosure, a container …
An EMP attack is potentially one of the most severe, paradigm shifting threats facing the modern world today, especially advanced nations like the United States and much of Europe. In an instant, an EMP could effectively plunge us back to an industrial or pre-industrial level of technology, damaging or destroying wholesale our electrical grid, and …
A massive EMP event, from any cause, is a crisis unto itself. It is difficult to quantify just how much damage such an occurrence can do to our modern society, as dependent as we are upon our electronics and the Byzantine power grid needed to supply them with energy. To say that we might be …
