Grid, Cyber & EMP Failure
VARIED RISKA cyberattack, cascading grid failure, or electromagnetic pulse could disrupt power, payments, communications, and logistics.
THE SCENARIO
What could happen?
Could grid, cyber & emp failure cause the end of the world? A cyberattack, cascading grid failure, or electromagnetic pulse could disrupt power, payments, communications, and logistics. The exact effects would depend on location, scale, warning time, and the systems affected. This page separates the spectacular premise from preparations that are useful in ordinary emergencies too.
REALITY CHECK
Grid and cyber failures are plausible; a widespread high-altitude EMP is far less likely. Their practical household consequences overlap.
THE USEFUL PLAN
Backup power, printed contacts, cash, water, radio, and offline copies of essential information.
