It’s not easy to imagine the United States as a dystopian hellscape, but if we don’t protect our power grid from an EMP (electromagnetic pulse) attack, it could happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack struck America, the damage would be catastrophic. An EMP is an intense burst of electromagnetic radiation and a powerful pulse of energy caused by a sudden release of stored energy, such as that from a nuclear blast.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An EMP attack would be devastating to the United States. This is because most modern electronic devices in the country use either direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC), both of which would be disabled by an EMP. It would take years for the country to repair all this infrastructure and replace damaged devices, not counting all the people who wouldn’t even have access to power anymore after their homes were destroyed by missiles striking their cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An EMP could also affect large groups of people at once, leading them into panic mode as they attempt to survive without food or water; this could lead to further destruction across our nation’s infrastructure–especially if there are no supplies available either because they’ve already been depleted or because stores have been looted during riots due to lack of electricity and food sources like grocery stores being unavailable due to looting\/lack of police officers patrolling store entrances due to lack manpower thanks previously mentioned reasons!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A nuclear EMP attack on the United States could kill as many as 90% of Americans — 286 million people.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The EMP Commission estimated that a nuclear EMP attack could kill 90% of Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A nuclear EMP attack on the United States would be catastrophic. The following is a summary of the findings of the Congressional Electromagnetic Pulse Commission and its final report:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
