This book addresses how to protect against a cataclysmic nuclear EMP (electromagnetic pulse) event. Testifying before congress and elsewhere, experts are in unanimous agreement that an upper atmospheric EMP explosion is not if, but when. It can impact an area like New England states, the East or West Coast, or the entire nation, depending on the explosion altitude. While not instantly killing humans and destroying infrastructure, it ends modern civilization and throws exposed regions back into the 1870 darkness era. This destruction is possible by rogue nations and scores of terrorists groups who know, or think they know, how to do this. The book provides solution options, and ways and means to mitigate or prevent this and the loss of lifestyle from happening. The book does not speak to anti-missile lasers or other military attempts to help preclude this. There are basically two parts to EMP protection: (a) a proposed national plan to protect America and (2) the details of how the protection process is accomplished. The former is covered partly in the author's book "EMP Protect Family, Homes and Community", and his published articles, while this new book provides the many details of how EMP protection is accomplished. The book also speaks to EMP protection of manufactured, and site-built homes and how to retrofit existing homes. The book provides information and strategies to help preppers and survivalists to live far better lifestyles in a post-EMP environment. Benefactors of EMP protected solar-PV rooftops will enjoy "free" electricity both before and after an EMP event. Thus, a high-altitude EMP will dysfunction electric power-grid and electronic infrastructure (telecommunications; devices, equipment and system controls; and most transportation). Knowing these and how to mitigate them becomes vital to individuals and their entire communities. In this book, you will learn how to electromagnetically shield, bond, ground and cable surge suppress and filter, buildings and their solar rooftops to provide electricity through an electric power-grid outage that may last from hours to years. This book teaches relatively inexpensive means for electromagnetically shielding all size structures, -- cottage sheds, houses and commercial and industrial buildings to protect the electrical and electronic items inside from EMP destruction. Next to saving our civilization from extension, the biggest take-away is the millions of new jobs generated in fulfilling EMP protection over next decade. Most material is written for the lay or non technical. A few formulas are included for those wanting more analysis of risks, achievablity and performance measures.
