What Are You Going To Do When A Massive EMP Blast Fries The U.S. Electrical Grid?
EMP preparedness is way, way down the list but I agree with the author. 2/3rd+ Americans would be dead with one year in a total grid shutdown.
The first 24 – 48 hours after such an occurrence will lead to confusion among the general population as traditional news acquisition sources like television, radio and cell phone networks will be non-functional.
Within a matter of days, once people realize the power might not be coming back on and grocery store shelves start emptying, the entire system will begin to delve into chaos.
Within 30 days a mass die off will have begun as food supplies dwindle, looters and gangs turn to violent extremes, medicine can't be restocked and water pump stations fail.
