7 Actions to Take Immediately Following an EMP Strike- An EMP Strike On Our Nation Will be An Absolutely Catastrophic Event
A huge EMP is like opening a Pandora Box:

1 – At a community level because we haven’t experienced one yet and we don’t really know how bad it can get. Frank Gaffney – president of the Center for Security Policy predicted that:

“Within a year of an EMP attack, nine out of 10 Americans would be dead, because we can’t support a population of the present size in urban centers and the like without electricity. And that is exactly what I believe the Iranians are working towards.”

Experts also agree that the next nuclear war will start with at least an EMP. If one of the nuclear powers blasts a nuclear weapon 275 miles above the US it will produce an EMP that will basically send us, the Canadian and the Mexicans back to the Dark Ages. Can we fight back (after an EMP) or we will be nothing more than sitting ducks for Russian’ nukes? I have something you need to watch. It’s much better than I am at explaining the threat.

Our response infrastructure is hardened against that, which is why it’ll never happen. The country launching that level of attack would be glass within 30 mins after. Certainly the leadership of same at least.

More doom theater.

Yes and no. You're not taking into account the terrorist use of an EMP device that they purchase from a country like Iran or North Korea. A cyberattack on the US power grid could produce similar results, as could a solar flare.

Point being, it doesn't matter *why* the grid goes down, American society will face the same consequences.

Is the entire system is hardened?

Or would there be regional grid down that could last for years?

EDIT: nevermind. I see you were specifying "response"

It doesn't matter if some government systems are harneded, the refineries, oil production, entire shipping a manufacturing systems, hospitals, financial systems...etc are all vulnerable. You stop the trucks for three days and you'll see looting a rioting that third night, and the beginning of collapse at the end of the week with tens of millions dead in the first month and a hundred or two hundred million dead after 6 months to a year. The rest of the world would actually probably prosper after they rebuild the financial sector.

Destroy the shipping ports, destroy the refineries and knock out the power, wait a few months and walk right in.

If there is no rocket, if some bad actor just trucked a nuclear device into Kansas, it would not be high enough in the atmosphere for a large scale EMP effect. There would be an EMP, but it would be highly localised and not nationwide.

Much more recoverable.

Understand nature can do this and much worse!
Man can also! A dozen nukes would do most the world!
If nato keeps pushing Russia this would be the first sucker punch to every member country and allies! Followed with nuke strikes on mil command control infrastructure communications data transport distribution.

Life as we knew it will be gone forever!

A large area 1000's of miles Entire nations, Country's Continents!

Long term event, There is no reset for this!
How many hours or days to WithOut the Rule of Law WORL?

You will not know what happened only that nothing works.
No radio tv phone computer electricity internet all gone!
No Info, data nota nothing!

You will see the glow of the city burning and hear the gunfire!

You will be on your own! In the dark!

Making discussions without information!
Many will believe it is JUST FOR A FEW DAYS or WEEKS!
It will come back Tomorrow!

Your neighbors may be a great asset or you worst nightmare!
All mine are ill or unprepared for anything.
True sheep!
Here in LA the looting and shooting starts before sunset day one!

I do not know what your plan is and don't care!
Those without a long term plan and preps will parish!

The premier apocalyptic novel with EMP as its main causative event is One Second After by William Forstchen. It's free on Kindle, and highly recommended. It is book one of a trilogy. Book two is One Year After which deals with the longer impact and book three is The Final Day.

These books would make a dedicated prepper out of your Uncle Bob. The reality of life without electricity is ever so much worse than not having refrigeration or a television. Human nature is the real problem in a grid down event. Remember Antifa's 'mostly peaceful demonstrations'? Yeah, coming to neighborhoods everywhere. These books are not for the faint of heart.

It is a line-of-sight weapon. To reach a large area, it has to be VERY high up. To cover the nation, it must explode in space.

In his poem Human Pride, Marx admits that his aim is not to improve the world, reform or revolutionize it, but simply to ruin it and enjoy it being ruined:

With disdain I will throw my gauntlet full in the face of the world,
And see the collapse of this pygmy giant whose fall will not stifle my ardor.
Then will I wander godlike and victorious through the ruins of the world
And, giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator.

You can get a glimpse of how ugly and dire things will be by reading the book "One Second After" It will chill you to your very bones. I read it when it first came out in print.
Things will be so horrific you won't want to live....utterly horrible and brutal will gain new more intense meaning.

In the EMP age, everyone must plan to become as the Amish are, a primitive agrarian society.

Better yet, plan to migrate outside of the EMP zone where life goes on unperturbed. It's better to hear about a massive EMP event on the news than it is to live it in real life.

Refugees would begin pouring south on foot into Mexico, only to find that northern Mexico suffered collateral EMP damage themselves. Keep going south until you see lights on at night. And learn how to speak Spanish.

Or go to Alaska if you can make it. They might not be worth an EMP attack. But you may then need to learn how to speak Russian however. And forget about ever getting any supplies while up there. All their supplies come from CONUS.
