    As a software engineer, I would reccomend people do two things to protect their data. First, identify all the files you want to protect and then copy them to a storage device that will be your offline store - this device can be an external hard drive, usb key, or dvd. When the copy is done, place the device into a safe - one that is metal, waterproof and fireproof. Your data will now survive any disaster. Second, have paper printouts of important stuff like your passwords, bank account details, deeds to your house, etc. Your goal here is to have all your digital information written down. Put the papers in the same safe. Last point - review and update your offline backups regularly.

    Excellent recommendations. In addition to the items you listed, people who live in colder climates should also have a way to heat their living area. I have two wood burning stoves and plenty of cut/dry/split firewood. I realize a lot of people don't have that particular heating option, but they will need to figure something out or they will be very uncomfortable in the winter.

      Likely true, @@joemarchinski914 but if your backup Preps are locked in a storage unit (usually brick or concrete with metal doors) most likely they won't get burned-up.
      The locks may get fried by emp, but the facility is not likely to get burned-down.
      Bypass the access to get to your unit and use your solid keys to unlock your padlocks to get to your preps.

    A basement is a good start on a fallout shelter, but you need to examine the ceiling of it. If the basement ceiling is the floor of your ground level you have minimal shielding. This can be solved by stacking or piling dense material in the room above the basement. Books, bags of dirt, canned goods, a filled water bed mattress, lumber or other items.

      I have thought that as well, but I went with cardboard because it was way cheaper. It also turns out that its a decent insulator as long as it doesn't get wet. The main thing is that what's inside the faraday cage doesn't make direct contact with the side of the cage.

    OK, lots of great ideas, which depend upon there being some form of communication available. All good, all could be useless. What I did during my military time makes me take the following positions. Way back in the 1960's I was trained about this stuff.
    First; Understanding just what an EMP (electro magnetic pulse) does will lead you to just leaving the electronics behind. How this kind of event was discovered was when the USA tested the HYDROGEN BOMB. The explosion created an EMP that knocked out the power and phone lines in Hawaii, several thousand miles away. It's best to be prepared to live as if it is 1800, period
    Second; If there is nuclear war, there will be no safe place to go, except under ground, and you will have to stay there for at least 2 years. Can you store supplies enough for each member of your family, to last that long?
    The real danger, after the explosion (gamma radiation) the resulting fallout (alpha and beta radiation, the stuff a gigger counter looks for) lasts for thousands of years, and only slowly goes away. Pray we NEVDR have nuclear war.
    Third. In the case of am EMP, having a good natural water source, one big enough to have crawfish (food source) is very helpful. In the case of nuclear war, all bets are off.
    You have some great ideas. If you gain some assurance and comfort doing all of this, fine. That allows you to think about other important things for survival. For me, it's the 1800's with as many non electronic modern tools and equipment as I can get my hands on. Even with that, limiting what you have to how much you can carry is important. A lot of extra stuff can become a trap rather than a benefit.
    In a short run, if you can protect your stuff, do it. It could actually give you an advantage. '-)

    Hey JR...don't forget to store a few flashlights in your faraday cage. Modern day flashlights use LEDs which would fry in an EMP incident. Then along with the power bank you stored, be sure to protect the solar panels, which are susceptible to burn out in an EMP. 👍

    The large transformers used in substations are capital expense items and not off-the-shelf items. They are built on demand and the lead time is typically measured in months, lots of months.

    Good vid. Reiterating what was stated in this vid -- the best 'quick test' for a Faraday Cage's integrity is to set whatever it is you're wanting to protect in the cage and test it. If it is an emergency radio, then turn it on and put it in. After securing the lid (or whatever) and you CAN'T hear the radio, then it's probably working a bit. If you can't call your phone b/c it's in the cage, then it probably is protected. One thing's for sure: we don't know the extent of EMP damage. Not been tested at the 'society level' just yet. Depends on altitude, magnitude and your location. I'm retired, wife still working. Her office is crow-flying about three miles, maybe four. She has a GMRS radio at work, Faraday protected. Same at home. She has a 'walking home route' and a 'driving home route' already pre-planned. Phones down?--switch to GMRS. Yes, we have a family licence, but if the plop-plop hits the rotary oscillator, licences aren't going to mean much if you catch my drift.

    Faraday Cage should be "grounded" ("earthed") so that any pulse signal goes direct to ground.

      Probably not. Lanterns tend to use brass parts that don't corrode as much as the cheap pot metal used in small engine carburetors. Most replacement carburetors are coated against ethanol, solving that problem too.

    If i move electronic things that require cellphone towers or TV towers into the middle of the room I don't have ANY Service whatsoever.
    So my question is, does that mean my electronic every day devices are safe from an EMP?
    I also don't have electricity since I am using Solar Panels and deep cycle Marine batteries as my electric source.

    I take it that even if a unit is off, it will still be effected by an EMP attack? I don't know that much about it, or how it actually works. But I would assume that if a circuit wasn't complete, the items wouldn't be in danger. I guess I'm incorrect.
