There are two known ways to prepare for an EMP:

  1. Learn to live without electricity
  2. Protect some of your devices by means of a Faraday cage. They’re easy and cheap to make.

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 …
