First off, EMP is an abbreviation for “Electro Magnetic Pulse.” It is a phenomenon that occurs when a nuclear devise is detonated high in the atmosphere. The resulting damage is not what you might think. It basically fries unprotected electronic devises. This is not a new piece of information but it is something to think about considering our strong dependence on our beloved electronic gadgets. Moreover, it’s not just that dependence at an individual level that we should be concerned with. It might be an inconvenience but we could get by without our cell phones or GPS devices. What is of deeper concern, however, is how dependent we are on an infrastructure that IS dependent on our modern digital age. This article is a bit long; but not too long to make you think about being prepared. And, I am not talking “Boy Scout” prepared either.
