Professor William Forstchen talked about how an EMP (electromagnetic pulse) attack could disable the power grid over large swaths of America. If fission bombs were detonated above the country, a gamma ray burst would trigger an electromagnetic disturbance, knocking out the infrastructure below it, he explained. Such effects have been demonstrated with high altitude nuclear tests such as Starfish Prime, and can be seen on a smaller scale in this video clip showing what happens to a Ford Taurus that gets zapped by EMP. Forstchen said in an EMP attack the power grid might be down for months or even years. He also warned that EMP effects could be caused by solar flares, like the superstorm that occurred in 1859. He suggested that people call for Congress to recognize that EMP is a real issue, and move toward strengthening America’s infrastructure. Rep. Roscoe Bartlett has taken this subject seriously, he added.

@rollsthepaul The only problem with that is that our Supply Chains System are based on “Just In Time” to save money, meaning that resources have to reach a certain level before they are resupplied, and then there is the problem of people living in place that do not produce any food at all, they will be in big trouble!
@armypenguin Try …
@armypenguin Try allocating the people by the number of resources that you needs, unless they have special skill sets, t that set them apart form people who would be just manual labor! As long as to take care of security early on you should have far more time to take care of everything else, because if security is forgotten or not well planed out in the beginning everything could be easily lost!
lol. I know what …
lol. I know what you mean. I’m actually working on a plan to setup a defense for my town of 7,000 its quiet hard.
@armypenguin I am …
@armypenguin I am sure you have seen those zombie movies if that occurred everyone in my family agreed, to put that person down, it’s fantasy but at least they are starting to think, about how to survive, instead of being emotional, about the dead! This applies if a is a virus breaks out, no way to cure them, and if trying to get to a doctor or hospital that maybe over run, why put everyone in danger to save one person when you know there are far too many infected for you to fight off.
@armypenguin lol, …
@armypenguin lol, Your mom has great skills, my point is that in the book people including women and men who have no useful skills, like insurance or stock broker who would be totally worthless, would be of no use to a group of people with limited resources, so they would not allowed to enter the group, they would only be a hindrance, you just could not feed them! If they can’t fix anything, or farm or in your case are not a doctor, or a nurse, you would have to force them to go away!
cooking some women …
cooking some women are very good cooks. some others not so much. certain prepared women would be useful for example my mom is an RN with 8 years experience she also isn’t to bad of a shot with my Kimber Pro Carry II (.45 ofcourse)

@proverb311031 i believe that this video has explained what you just said.
Any woman without …
Any woman without any useful skill in the book would become a whore, what else does she have to offer for sale then her body sense money would be worthless, that is how bad things would become for women in a post EMP world! We would be going back 500 years back to the Dark-Ages!!!
@rcvideogamer An …
@rcvideogamer An EMP would kill 80% or more of the population over a two to three year period indirectly. No food, resupply, no clean water, no medication resupply, and the strength of it greatly reduced. Everything would be manual, all those people who have no skills that are useful to you surviving who were outsiders to your town you would have to turn away. Because you can not feed them, if you try you would end up killing everyone in your group.
In William …
In William Forstchen book One Second After he suggests that somewhere 0%-5% of New York’s population will survive. The only we do have is that we have massive naval bases across the world that could come to help us and maybe if Europe didn’t get hit they could send us aid.

this video has inlightened me on part one people are takinig this as a joke. this is serious we are all so close to death at all times.this is unfamable, impossible think of, its so scary.
True. But many who …
True. But many who work in industrialised areas would die by the thousands. Many accidents. Just think the wide areas of affects. New York City will be suffered by burglaries across the world. There will be chaos. If it stays for more than a week. And it had happend. Before in New York and Canada back in 2007. But that affect only happend hours!. We truly civilians dont get the affect. But the Powerful people like the Illuminati will. HAHAHHA. Let them suffeer/
Mental preparation …
Mental preparation is by far the most important. When the cow is down, the knives come out.
You are an idiot if you allow yourself to be afraid. We were born to die and our life is just a heartbeat in length. You can go out on your hind legs or whining in a corner.
