There is one type of disaster that would be far worse than any other.
Far worse than a natural disaster like a hurricane or a tornado, than an economic collapse, than mass societal unrest, or than
That's because this is the only type of disaster that could incorporate elements from all of the above kinds of disasters that I just mentioned.
This disaster is an EMP, or electromagnetic pulse, attack.
An EMP attack on a mass scale would completely knock out the electrical power grid, and everything that is connected to the power grid with is.
That is, to say, society.
Since our society is 100% dependent on electricity and power, imagine what would happen if the power grid, all electronic devices and systems, and everything powered by electricity shut off in an instant and stayed off.
What would happen then?
While many preppers and ordinary people alike have heard about EMP attacks, I've noticed that far fewer of these people actually understand what the consequences of an EMP are really going to be.
There have been a lot of misconceptions about EMPs; I've seen some people disregard them as not being that serious of a threat, and other people believing that it would be the end of civilization akin to a worldwide nuclear war.
Neither of these scenarios is exactly correct, and the truth is somewhere in the middle.
What would happen as a result of an EMP attack is also dependent on factors such as where an EMP weapon would be detonated and the altitude in the atmosphere it's detonated at, among other things.
I want to make sure that we're all on the same page about what an EMP attack is in the first place and what's going to happen if an EMP event ever occurs.
That's why I sat down to put a list together of the top questions (and misconceptions) I've seen people have about EMP attacks.
I figured if I could write a book that provided answers to these questions, it might provide answers to your questions about EMP attacks as well.
With that said, in this guide, I'll provide answers to the following common questions that people have relating to EMP Attacks:
- What is an EMP?
- How does an EMP affect electronic devices? How would an EMP affect the functionality of my smartphone, computer, and other electronic devices?
- What are the sources of an EMP?
- What steps should I take immediately following an EMP attack to ensure my family's personal safety and survival?
- What is the difference between a natural and a man-made EMP?
- Can an EMP occur naturally?
- Are there any historical examples of EMP events?
- What are the potential consequences of an EMP attack?
- Can an EMP cause fires or explosions in buildings with electronic systems?
- Are there any measures that can be taken to restore power and communication systems after an EMP event?
- How likely is an EMP attack?
- What is the range of an EMP blast?
- How long would the effects of an EMP last?
- What would happen to communication systems after an EMP?
- How would transportation be affected by an EMP?
- What preparations can be made to mitigate the effects of an EMP?
- What is a Faraday cage, and how does it work?
- How can communities prepare for an EMP event?
- What should be included in your EMP survival kit?
- Are there warning signs before an EMP event?
- Can medical devices be affected by an EMP?
- How would an EMP affect food and water supplies?
By the end of this book, I want your knowledge of EMP attacks, what will happen as a result of the attack, and what people like yourself need to do in response to an attack to grow tremendously.
