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:

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 …

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 …
In an era that is increasingly threatened by the proliferation of nuclear weapons that come in all sizes, wonder weapons that can knock out continental power grids and even natural cosmic phenomenon like solar storms. Every single one of these events is capable of producing an EMP effect that can completely fry any electrical device …
Today, virtually every motor vehicle you see on the road to say nothing of the vehicles manufactured has multiple computers on board that run everything from the engine to collision avoidance and crash safety systems, and do so with far greater efficiency, speed and reliability then any mechanical contrivance or human operator. Computers are absolutely …
Let’s face it, when SHTF, your choice is to bug in or bug out. For those who are already in a more rural or isolated location, bugging in makes sense. But for those in an urban environment, or even those who live just outside a large city, the need to bug out at some point …
An EMP attack is the most deadly doomsday proposition we could ever face. Few outside of the prepper community are even pondering such an end of the work event – and far fewer still are preparing to survive such a SHTF and the copious amount of domino mega disaster effects it would create. An electromagnetic …
