How An EMP Attack Could Cripple Your Daily Life And How To Stop It

An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) is a real threat that can instantly destroy electronic devices and cripple modern infrastructure, originating from either a high-altitude nuclear detonation or an extreme solar storm. Many common household items are surprisingly vulnerable, including refrigerators, electrical well pumps, landline phones, smart home devices and the chargers for power tools. Life-sustaining medical equipment like CPAP machines, insulin pumps and pacemakers are at high risk, which could have fatal consequences for those who depend on them. Proactive preparedness is essential and involves using surge protectors, keeping non-electronic backups (like basic thermostats and phones) and storing critical backup electronics in shielded Faraday cages. Building resilience requires a layered approach, including maintaining stocks of simple replacement parts, installing specialized surge protection and understanding your home’s
