The US is a big country. Highly unlikely the whole grid will be affected by one of these attacks. It will be isolated to cities and you can have trucks bring supplies to these areas.
Real life is not Hollywood. We get hit by Hurricanes all the time. Just look at what happened in NC last year with the flooding. Sure prepping helps, but the benefit of living in a highly developed civilization is that we have the tools to overcome adversity.
this doesn't apply to GMD from solar flares. an unlucky one could affect a massive portion of the country at once.
Lots of hypotheticals
Really mean aliens could come and take us out too.
there's only one hypothetical there: the potential of a big GMD that hits the US - everything else is a given after that.
I'll let you do your own research on how often these occur and at what magnitudes.
I'm sorry to say it's not in the same ballpark as aliens. but the good news is there are defensive measures possible to put in place beforehand that almost entirely mitigate the danger and they don't even cost that much. but there's only political will in thus country to do partisan, divisive shit. and if you talk about solar flares people look at you like you're crazy
Any individual measures in your list? Not really worried about it, just curious if it's gov-level measures only you had in mind.
Put your HWW in EMP proof bags. Double bag them just in case.
There is a device you can put on your car to shield it as well.
That's kinda along the lines of what I was thinking. Good on that front.
yea I've only looked into the grid-scale problems, not individual level. probably easier to find remediations for personal scale (looks like you got a suggestion already)
