E30: Blinding Lights (All About EMPs)

Chakras and Shotguns

What will you do if the lights cut out…on everything? In this episode, Mik and Jenn are going "worst-case scenario" and talking about electromagnetic pulses, or EMPs. What are they and how in the world does one prepare?
Some things we talked about in this episode:

• We talked about Sangeetha Abdu Jyothi’s research on EMPs. An article on his work can be found on WIRED (detailing how a solar storm could cause an internet apocalypse). You can also read his actual research here.
• Mik talked about a Forbes article by James Conca, and China’s capability to launch an EMP attack. You can also find other EMP-related articles that he has written for Forbes, including How To Defend Against The Electromagnetic Pulse Threat By Literally Painting Over It and Can Nuclear Power Plants Resist Attacks Of Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP)?
• If you want to check up on what the Department of Homeland Security has done after Trump’s Executive Order on EMP preparation, you can find that here.
• Want to shield your house or electric car from an EMP? We bought ours from EMP Shield.
• Interested in those fancy EMP-shielded tents? You can request a quote from Holland Shielding.
