Let’s say you’re minding your own business. Maybe you’re playing WoW, or maybe you’re walking the dog. You go about your business, when, suddenly, an electromagnetic pulse strikes, destroying our way of life as we know it. Electronic bank records, traffic lights, netbooks—all gone in a matter of seconds. What to do?
Well, you can thank your lucky stars for the existence of EMPACT Aemrica, Inc., an organization that “works with local citizenry, civic-minded companies, and grassroots activists to help prepare communities in New York and across America to prepare for an EMP attack.” Former Arkansas governor and presidential candidate (and current Fox News host) Mike Huckabee will be the keynote speaker at the group’s upcoming conference in Niagara Falls, NY. While I’d question the man’s scientific credentials—he doesn’t believe in evolution, for one—perhaps his experience as a governor could be applicable when it comes to crisis management. Then again, governing Arkansas, population 2.8 million, versus figuring out how to manage a terrorist attack in New York City, population 8.3 million, isn’t exactly the same thing. Still, that’s a discussion for another Web site. (And I do see a few Ph.D.s on the speaker list, so it’s not all grandstanding politicians.)
The point is, EMPs are a threat to our very way of life. Can you imagine a world where your MacBook doesn’t wake up from sleep? Or a world where the red ring of death is the leas of your concerns? That one scene in GoldenEye rings a bell…
You know, I seem to remember an article in 2600 that had the schematics to build a tiny EMP device, for the express purpose of knocking out a noisy neighbor’s car radio.
Of course, a giant meteor could smash into Earth, wiping out all life before we have the chance to EMP ourselves into oblivion, so this could all be moot.

“leas” least
Actually this is a good topic; what should you do if something like this does happen.
People now days seem to depend on the internet, computers, flash & hard drive devices that they have no clue what to do if they all go out which could happen.
Everything now is on a damn hard drive stored somewhere we would fuck around and lose our history because of shit like this and thinking it would never happen.
People need to be educated on the new way of doing things and the old way in-case something of that nature or of an apocalyptic concerns unless we want everybody acting like jackasses because this will happen eventually and there is shit we can do about it.
Open Letter to the American People
We are citizens of Germany and want to inform you that new possibilities of terror may arise from Germany. We don’t want that once more there could be terror in the U. S. or other countries coming from persons or weapons from Germany!
The USA could be attacked with microwave weapons / EMP (directed energy weapons / radio frequency weapons) that are already used by perpetrators, and organized crime in Germany.
Microwave weapons and e-bombs are a real threat to people and critical infrastructures like computer networks, power grids, literally anything that works with electronics or computers. They can take down airplanes.
The German police and law enforcement don’t do anything to stop the misuse and testing of these weapons by criminals.
