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. Quoting: Windsage 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. Another good one is The Restoration Series by Terri Blackstock. The 1st book in the series is Last Light. |

The city and county can only keep so many replacement transformers on hand and once supply is depleted that's It. America doesn't produce those anymore. The Power plants Producing power have a degree of defensive hardening but the actual grids are full of weak points. It's been long said that Air-conditioning is the downfall of modern man.

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. Read the rest of the article HERE [link to warn.science.blog (secure)] I don’t believe EMP’s exist. I think it’s just being used as an excuse to flip the off switch on the power grid and the same with the computer chips in motor vehicles. Either way...the results would be the same. Society would crumble and many would die. You know what? The funny and curious thing is, right now, how would you tell that society had crumbled? Piles of drug needles in the streets of cities? Homeless camps under every major highway? Foreign invaders by the millions coming in? I suppose you are right...it seems like we are in "mid-crumble" right now. It could get worse though. |

You know, one just goes off in kansas or something like that, with no rocket approaching from outside the nation's borders? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 82571668 adversary could place small missile with small nuclear warhead (but big enough to emp the entire US in one fell swoop) in a 40' shipping container. launch from gulf of mexico or just atlantic or pacific coast. US would not even know where it came from. or just wait until the shipping container arrives in kansas and shoot missile straight up. if the bad actors can get away with blatantly stealing the US presidency in broad daylight, surely they could covertly pull off something like i'm talking about. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 82571668 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.  Or your own government did it.  This isn't my government. :bidenthis: |

Anyone on meds, especially insulin, will be the first to die off. Hold on to every single thing printed - magazines, books, manuals, etc. Everybody on dialysis. Everybody with battery operated medical devices like pace makers. Everybody on any drug to sustain life...as mentioned...insulin or cardiac drugs, etc. and then most of the mental health drugs will drive people off the cliff with suicides. etc. I've been thinking about how to save the people who are dependant on insulin or other refrigerated drugs. There is a different kind of refrigeration cycle called the absorption cycle that uses heat to operate it. There are versions that use no electricity that were used on old sailing ships. Just operate a heat source like a small kerosene burner at one part of it, and keep the other part as cool as possible in the air or maybe with some cool water etc. There are also industrial versions of it. (I designed and installed a 400 ton chiller on a cogen plant many years ago. (it was sort of required back then for PURPA certification). I think there are also small fridges that run on propane for travel trailers and RVs. (used to be anyway). If I had a family member whose life depended on insulin, I would try to obtain one of these units and operate it a while to make sure you know how to operate it and to identify any bugs in the system.

The parts needed to repair a power plant might be something that could be ordered from a company on a distant part of the Earth unaffected by the EMP.

Some military and emergency communications stations, but that’s it at the moment. The grid is very vulnerable. Long wire runs are the problem. As a science experiment, pass a magnet across a single wire attached to a volt meter. You will get some voltage. That’s how electricity is made: passing a copper wire through magnetic field. Now multiply that by a million. There will be a huge voltage spike along with the load amperage frying most things tied to it. And that’s everywhere within the generated magnetic pulse. Be prepared.
