How To Prepare For An EMP: 25 Resources On How To Improve Safety and Prevent Electromagnetic Damage Before It Occurs
Research, Preparations, Vehicle Protection, Bug Out Skills, Faraday Cages, Faraday Bags, Surge Protectors, Ferrites, Electrostatics, and more.
[NOTE: Considering an EMP would short out the IoB, I do not think this would ever occur because it’s too risky to other plans in place. However, it makes a great Hegelian dialectic to incite fear that can be leveraged to gain control over the populace. Regardless, you should understand the way this works and how to protect yourselves not just from psychopaths but also from the narratives that they perpetuate and how to prevent yourselves from manifesting the narratives others are attempting to create by instilling fear in you. So, read on…. To find the GSM series, go here.]

“I decided that I couldn't talk about Michael Faraday without giving a brief explanation of the Faraday Cage as well. The Faraday Cage stops electricity and electromagnetic frequencies from entering the cage, affectivly insulating any object inside from electricity. Applications range from Airplanes, to science laboratories, to microwaves. Faraday Cages are everywhere!”

“In this video I discuss the basics of faraday cages and how to protect your electronics in the case of a High Altitude EMP. Electromagnetic pulse is a very low probability but high impact event, its worth having some plan in place for this in light of the tense state of the world.”
Cathy Wilson. (2014). Cheapest Quickest Faraday Cage Against An EMP. YouTube.
“Just use inexpensive aluminum foil to quickly make a simple and cheap faraday cage for small electronic devices. This can shield your electrical equipment from an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) created by a solar storm or high-altitude nuke detonation. No liner is needed.”

“High-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) refers to the electromagnetic pulse that is created by the high-altitude detonation of a nuclear weapon. Numerous stakeholders assert that a HEMP attack is probable, and its impact would be catastrophic to the power system infrastructure. However, a science-based approach is needed to assess the true impact of this threat. To address this gap, EPRI has developed a comprehensive research plan that will be carried out over a three-year period. This video provides an overview of science of high-altitude electromagnetic pulses and EPRI’s three-year research plan.”

“Describes how to protect your home against an EMP. Our recommended approach is to: 1) install a high-current surge protection device, 2) install High-saturation EMP Ferrites in breaker panel, 3) install small broadband ferrites on power cords of sensitive electronics. Note that very sensitive items that are not plugged in can also be stored in EMP bags.

“Let's explore why electric fields cannot penetrate a closed conductor. This makes a closed conductor shield the inside from outside electric fields. They are useful in protecting sensitive electronic equipment's from stray fields. This effect was first studied by Michael Faraday, and hence closed conductors are often called Faraday cages.”

“EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) - should you care about it? Idk, if you're into the prepper type things, yeah probably. Who knows if we'll ever encounter one that affects us in our lifetime though, but I'm the type of guy that is more on the 'just in case' side. In this video I talk a bit about EMPs, and CMEs (Coronal Mass Ejection) and related stuff. I talk about how in just 5 minutes you can turn basically any vehicle into an EMP proof bug out rig.”

“Some people have used the galvanized bucket for making faraday cages on YouTube. They had a great idea! However, most use cardboard inside. This will save you some money, but I'm lazy and don't want to work that hard. I figured out a work around. According to Dr. Bradley (see link below), you would not need to use Mylar or foil to get enough protection from a standard EMP. When I put an am radio in the bucket, the signal went completely away after I put the cover on and that indicates at least 50db and that is enough. I did the strictest check with 2 way radios to see if there was a way to block that 100db signal. There was... Mylar or foil wrapped around the item. So, for most items that I use daily or frequently, I just drop em in the bucket. The rubber keeps them from touching the metal and they should be fine. For very sensitive things I don't use much at all, I secure in foil or Mylar for double "over do it" protection.”
