Understanding EMPs and preparing for disruption

Jeffrey R. Yago’s guide introduces electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) and solar storms through the lens of possible effects on electricity, transportation, communications, and financial services. It sets out to distinguish claims the book presents as credible from what it characterizes as internet myths or hype, then turns to practical preparation. The subject sits at the intersection of electronics and household readiness: the book aims to explain the underlying threat in accessible terms while offering commonsense steps for readers considering how to prepare for a prolonged grid outage. Its descriptions of potential impacts are the book’s framing, not independent confirmation of those outcomes.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults seeking an accessible introduction to EMPs and solar storms
  • Readers interested in emergency preparedness and potential infrastructure disruptions
  • Those looking for a guide that combines basic explanations with preparation advice

Book overview

STAYING SAFE WHEN THE GRID GOES DOWN

It is a scientific fact that both an EMP and solar storm can take down our nation's electric grid which could take years to restore. Tests have shown many vehicles will no longer run, all internet and phone communications will be severely disrupted, and all banking and credit card processing will just stop.

 

Finally, a book that not only explains how this is possible in a very easy-to-understand presentation but also dispels all the EMP myths and hype circulating the internet.

 

Not only will the ABCs of EMP help you understand the threat, but it also includes lots of commonsense ways to be better prepared. What's true? What's hype? What will an EMP actually do, and what can it not do? The answers are inside!
