What To Have Stored To Survive An EMP Attack?

23. March 2020 By Frank Johnson 19 Comments

What To Have Stored To Survive An EMP Attack?That’s a question that far too few people are asking, and it’s one that warrants your full attention. 

An EMP, which is short of electromagnetic pulse, is a momentary discharge of electromagnetic energy which is very DAMAGING for electronics.

What Is an Emp Attack?

An EMP accompanies any type of nuclear explosion, which can amplify the destructive potential of an atomic bomb by causing damage to electronics that are OUTSIDE of the bomb’s blast radius.

What many people don’t realize today is that improving technology has now made it possible to create an EMP WITHOUT a nuclear explosion.

In fact many of the devices that are capable of creating an EMP are so easy to make that most kids in junior high school could follow instructions and build one.

The fact that creating an EMP weapon is so EASY should be ringing major alarm bells and causing our government to react. But thus far very little has been done to protect our aging power grid, which means that the possibility of an EMP Attack is still very real.

While getting the government motivated so that they will actually take action is a bit of a fool’s errand, you can start taking steps to PROTECT yourself today. As with preparing for any other type of major disaster it’s always better to be ready for a potential disaster than it is to have on happen and find that you are totally unprepared.

By taking the time to start stockpiling supplies now you can be ready in case an EMP WEAPON is ever used that disables our electronic capabilities.

The following is a list of essential supplies that you should have on hand in case an EMP weapon is used on our country:

1. Faraday Cage. A Faraday Cage is a grounded metal container that you can use to store electronics in to protect them from the effects of an EMP. There are many types of Faraday Cages that you can buy, and a lot of them are fairly inexpensive. If you don’t want to buy one you can always look online for instructions and make one yourself. By storing emergency electronic equipment in a Faraday Cage you can protect it from the effects of an EMP weapon, which can mean the difference between life and death for you and your family. You can check my reviews for the best five Faraday cages. There is no need to stockpile electronics that will be rendered useless in case of an EMP attack.

2. Battery powered radio. A battery powered radio, stored in your Faraday Cage, can give you a way to hear news reports and other vital information from anyone that has retained their technological capabilities following an EMP attack. Most preppers like you likely have battery powered radios and will be on the look out for people like you. Keeping in touch with what’s happening will increase your chances of survival. Click here for the best five battery powered radio reviews.

3. Flashlights and extra batteries. Following an EMP attack you won’t be able to turn on the lights when it gets dark, so you will need an emergency light source. Flashlights, stored in your Faraday Cage, can give you the ability to work or travel at night when the lights are out. In our review of the best flashlights, you will find some very amazing picks that can serve you in any situation during an EMP attack. Light is so crucial during a EMP attack so it makes sense to have flashlights and batteries stored.

4. Cell Phone. A Cell phone, stored in your Faraday Cage, is your lifeline to the rest of the world. Will there be any cell service in your area following an EMP attack? Maybe, maybe not. But if there is cell service then an emergency cell phone can help you to get into contact with the rest of the world.

5. Non perishable foods. In the event that an EMP attack is launched against us the power grid would likely be badly damaged, which would mean no refrigeration. Without refrigeration any perishable foods you have on hand would spoil quite quickly. This is why having a good amount of non perishable foods stored is essential. Canned goods, dry goods, and dehydrated meats, and fruits can help you to keep your family fed while you figure out what to do next. The best non perishable foods must be easy to prepare as you will not have the luxuries of electricity to cook. You can also take a look at our review of the best emergency/survival foods. Getting a food that tastes great and has all the essential nutrients is essential to your survival.

6. Water. While an EMP won’t knock out your water, it’s always a good idea to have plenty of drinking water stored in case of an emergency. Maybe the water source that supplies your tap water gets contaminated. Or maybe something breaks the water line. In either case you are going to need water. Having water purification tablets, or even better a lifestraw to filter any water you find is also a great idea. You need the best water storage container to store enough water for the entire family.

7. Fire making supplies. After an EMP attack you will have to rely upon fire much like our ancestors did for many of your basic needs. Fire can provide you with warmth, light, and the ability to cook food and process water. Since you are probably not adept at making primitive fire you need to make sure that you have several different methods of starting a fire stored in your home. A lighter and matches are great resources, and you should have them, but they are finite resources. Once they run out of fuel, or you use up your matches, you could be in serious trouble. That’s why having a striker and knife is essential. A striker will make a spark even if it gets wet or it’s really cold. It also will last you for years, so in a situation where you won’t have power for long period of time a striker is a very valuable resource.

8. Weapons. Assuming that there is an EMP attack there are a lot of potential threats that could follow it. Those threats could be an invading armed force coming in to occupy us, or it could be from people that are desperate and are out looting for supplies. In either case having several guns, plenty of ammunition, knives, and other types of hand weapons are essential. In an emergency situation violence quickly becomes commonplace and you will need weapons to ensure the safety of your family.

Conclusion

Most people probably assume that an EMP ATTACK is unlikely, and that anything that would disrupt our modern way of life is unlikely. These people are likely going to be the first to die when something bad does happen because they didn’t prepare ahead of time.

Don’t make the mistake of assuming that the world will keep on turning as it always has. There are a lot of threats out there, and a EMP attack is one of the big ones.

    I think everyone should have an old school radio on hand in case of an emergency. It is like the only means of communication in the event of an apocalypse.

    Oh man! I haven’t thought about EMP attacks but I’m so sure those are preppers have already gone as far as this! I got siblings who are preppers and they got 7/8 here.

    We are talking about some doomsday stuff here. It is very unlikely to happen but, its better to be prepared I guess.

    Thanks for the informative article! From what I know, my family owns an old radio which we can use for disasters and such. Despite that, I appreciate this article since I’ve learned a lot from this. Thank you again!

    This is genuine advice given that as humans we have become comfortable with the expectation that only the best can happen in the future. it is imperative to plan and have access to the 8 listed items in the case of an EMP attack.

    Always good to be prepared for any crises no matter how improbable. A serious EMP could threaten every wake of life, if not handled properly. Thanks for the article!

    I didn’t know that an EMP attack is possible even if there is no nuclear attack. The things you listed here are helpful in any emergency, nonetheless.:) I come from a tropical country and we get a lot of cyclones. These things are also useful! Thank you for the reminder!

    An EMP attack is one of the real threats these days. Your tips on how to survive when there is an unprecedented attack are just so practical. Some people may never think anything about these but they should seriously contemplate on how the threat is realistic.

    Your list of supplies to store in case of an EMP attack is sometimes confusing. A battery powered radio would not catch any station; all the electronic equipment are dead in such an attack. So, why ever store or buy it against such an attack? Having a supply of weapons is of no help if an invading army initiated an EMP attack. They will quickly take you out as a threat. Thanks for enlightening us about an EMP attack though.

    I watched a video about nuclear attack before and it was made by US defense. It’s a very information video and I learned a lot of tips and strategies on how to somehow lessen the effect of an emp attack.

    For something that is so easy to make like an EMP how come there is no one who has ever thought of using it as a weapon? I think a Faraday cage seems like a very important device that should be implemented on all important institutions like hospitals.

    I’ve always thought an EMP attack is some sci-fi non-sense. I guess I’ve largely underestimated how far our weaponry has advanced these days. This has been an eye-opening read

    Thanks for the very informative article I think I probably belong to the group of people that say that EMP attacks are somewhat unlikely to happen. After going through your article you have convinced me to stay alert to the possibilities and the ways to protect myself.

    This is like surviving an alien attack where they use EMP to disable all electronic devices. I am not much of a “techie” but when all electronic devices are disabled then it would be really an inconvenience to a lot of people. So it is true that you need to somehow stock up on non perishable goods. Interesting read!

    Wow. I learned something new today about Faraday’s cage and its amazing advantages which will definitely help in an EMP crisis when it happens. I agree with your point that with the rapid technological growth day by day we will never know what happens. So it is always better to be prepared. Having a device like Faraday’s cage will be very handy. Great tips. Thanks for bringing this topic to our attention.
