An EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) attack is one of the most disruptive and devastating events that could occur in modern society. This type of attack can suddenly disable all electronic devices and infrastructure, causing widespread chaos and threatening the survival of entire communities. Without access to power, communication, and essential services, life as we know it could be turned upside down. Preparing for such an event is not just important—it’s crucial for ensuring your family’s safety and survival.
This comprehensive guide, tailored for preppers and survivalists, provides essential tips to safeguard your family during and after an EMP attack. With resources like Grid Doctor 3300 EMP and Aqua Tower, alongside critical gear, you can build resilience and ensure your family’s survival in a post-EMP world.
Understanding EMP Attacks
An EMP attack involves the release of a powerful burst of electromagnetic energy that can disrupt or destroy all electronic devices within its reach. EMPs can be triggered by various sources, including nuclear detonations, solar storms, or man-made EMP devices. The result is the same: electronic devices, power grids, and even vehicles can be rendered useless.
Without power, society could quickly fall into chaos. Hospitals, water treatment plants, and transportation systems would stop functioning. This is why it’s critical to have a survival plan in place to ensure your family’s safety in the aftermath of an EMP attack.

Immediate Actions to Take During an EMP Attack
1. Stay Calm and Assess the Situation
The first step during any disaster is to remain calm and assess the situation. Panic only makes the situation worse. Take a deep breath, gather your family, and begin assessing your immediate surroundings. Check on your neighbors if possible, and begin implementing your family’s emergency plan.

2. Establish Communication
One of the most immediate and difficult challenges after an EMP attack is the loss of communication. Without cell phones, internet, or landlines, staying in touch with family members and emergency responders becomes nearly impossible.
To overcome this, ensure that you have a battery-powered or hand-crank radio to receive emergency broadcasts.
Additionally, you should have walkie-talkies stored in a Faraday cage for family communication.
Pre-arrange meeting points with your family, especially if you are separated during the event. This allows you to regroup and establish a plan of action.
A radio like the Eton Quest Hand Crank ensures access to updates. Stay informed with the Eton Quest Hand Crank.

3. Call for Help
If emergency services are still operational, it’s essential to call for help as soon as possible. While EMPs may disable most forms of communication, certain emergency frequencies or older radio equipment may still work.
This is where having a hand-crank radio becomes invaluable for staying informed. Knowing how to reach out to emergency responders or trusted allies will be critical in the first moments of an EMP attack.

Basic Survival Skills You Need
4. Learn CPR and First Aid
Medical emergencies can happen at any time, but in the aftermath of an EMP attack, access to professional healthcare may be severely limited.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a life-saving technique that everyone should know. Take a certified CPR course to ensure you know how to perform it correctly. Remember the basic steps: chest compressions, airway, and breathing.
Additionally, having a first aid kit and knowing how to treat common injuries and illnesses is essential in any emergency.
A kit like the Surviveware Comprehensive First Aid Kit ensures medical readiness. Treat injuries with the Surviveware First Aid Kit.
Protecting essential electronics in a Faraday cage is one of the most important steps you can take before an EMP attack.
5. Protect Your Electronics
If you have any forewarning of an impending EMP attack, such as escalating geopolitical tensions, take immediate steps to protect your electronics. A Faraday cage—a metal container that can shield devices from EMP damage—is one of the most effective tools in your preparedness arsenal.
Store essential electronics, such as radios, flashlights, and small generators, in a Faraday cage. Even a simple metal trash can with a tight-fitting lid can work in a pinch.
By protecting your electronics, you’ll have access to crucial devices that can help you stay informed and navigate the crisis.

Securing Basic Needs After an EMP Attack
6. Ensure Access to Clean Water
Water is essential for survival, and having access to clean water becomes a top priority after an EMP attack. Make sure you have enough water stored to last at least two weeks—one gallon per person per day is the minimum recommended amount. In addition to storing water, have water purification tablets or portable water filters on hand to treat water from natural sources if necessary.
Without a reliable water source, you and your family could be at risk of dehydration and illness.

7. Stockpile Non-Perishable Food
Food shortages are common after major disasters, and an EMP attack would be no exception. The loss of power would disrupt supply chains, making it difficult to obtain food from grocery stores. That’s why it’s important to stock up on non-perishable food items, such as canned goods, dried fruits, nuts, and freeze-dried meals. Rotate your stock regularly to ensure it remains fresh.
Stockpile and store food effectively with these expert tips—get started here.
8. Prepare for Home Security
In the chaos following an EMP attack, home security becomes critical. Without power, law enforcement may be overwhelmed, and criminals may take advantage of the situation. Strengthen your doors and windows, and consider investing in reliable means of self-defense. Working with neighbors to form a community watch can also provide mutual support and security.
Long-Term Survival Strategies
9. Learn Basic Survival Skills
In the aftermath of an EMP attack, many of the modern conveniences we rely on—such as electricity, running water, and healthcare—will no longer be available. Basic survival skills will become invaluable. Skills such as gardening, first aid, and basic mechanics will help you become more self-sufficient and less reliant on external resources.
Consider taking classes or regularly practicing these skills so that you’re prepared to handle a prolonged crisis.

10. Generate Power Off-Grid
While large generators may be impractical during a prolonged outage, portable solar chargers can provide a valuable source of power. Invest in solar panels and batteries to create a small, off-grid power system that can keep essential devices, like radios and lights, running. This can be especially important for those who rely on medical devices or other electronics.
