The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today announced the release of a Strategy for Protecting and Preparing the Homeland against Threats from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) and Geomagnetic Disturbance (GMD).
Developing a strategy that lays out a clear vision, the Department of Homeland Security aims to protect critical infrastructure, prepare a response in the event of
DHS describes in their strategy the impact an EMP attack could have on the nations critical infrastructure that includes the electrical grid, communications equipment
The DHS urges continued efforts to continue and improve collaboration with federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial decision-makers, sector-specific agencies, and private sector critical infrastructure owner-operators.
Outlined in the EMP Strategy, DHS has developed 3 main goals that they will strive to accomplish.Â
Department of Homeland Security’s 3 Outline EMP Strategy Goals:
New EMP Shield Sewing Lab & Apocalypse Faraday Bag – Handmade in America
There's a room in our building in Burlington, Kansas that didn't exist a year ago. It's called the Sewing Lab, and if you walk in on any given day you'll hear the hum of machines, maybe some music, and a lot of laughter. The women in that room are building something...
AC vs DC Power: What’s the Difference?
Electricity runs pretty much everything around us, but it’s not all the same. There are two big players: alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). Sure, both provide us with the juice we need, but they work in totally different ways, so you can’t treat them...
EMP Shield Response Time: Why Speed Matters
When it comes to surge protection, speed matters more than most people realize. The E1 phase of an electromagnetic pulse has an extremely fast rise time, typically reaching peak intensity in approximately five nanoseconds. If a surge protector cannot react quickly...
Does Your Solar System Need Its Own EMP Shield?
If you have a home EMP Shield and a solar system, you might assume your solar setup is already covered. It's not, and understanding why can save you from an expensive mistake. The home EMP Shield is an AC surge protective device. It's designed to protect your home's...
From Europe to America: Proven Lightning Protection With EMP Shield
Lightning doesn't care about borders, seasons, or what time it is. Every year, strong storms hit homes and businesses everywhere, often without much warning. Just one lightning strike can send huge electrical surges through systems, destroying expensive equipment,...
Does EMP Shield Keep the Power On During a Power Surge or EMP Event?
One of the most common misconceptions we hear is that installing an EMP Shield means your power will stay on if an EMP, or any major power surge, hits. It won't, and it's important you understand why before you decide what kind of protection you actually need. A major...
