I used to work as a contractor on an Air Force base. Some of my crew had to climb a water tower on the base to change out an antenna. There were rust holes in the tank and a dead pigeon floating in there. Don't trust your tap water.

I have a basic three step approach to determining if we have been hit with an EMP. 1. The lights go out unexpectedly: 2. Check your phone, If it's not working; 3. Check if your vehicles start. If they do not, there's a very good chance there was an EMP given all of these electrical/electronic devices have suddenly and simultaneously stopped working.

Plan for gas pumps to be down.

I had a certified plumber come out to our house yesterday to install a back flow valve in our sewage clean out pipe so that no sewage would enter our house if the situation got that bad. Since we live on a hill, he was honest and said that although he'd love to charge me $1,800.00 to install it, we really didn't need one. He said the houses at the bottom of the hill need one. He looked at our street and said the sewage will force the lid off the manhole cover and will flow downhill towards the houses down there. There really wasn't any way it would ever flow back into our house. I also asked him about the inflatable ball that can be inserted in the sewage clean out pipe and he said by the time you realize you need it, it will be too late and sewage will already be in your house. I absolutely loved this video and got so much useful information from it. THANK YOU!!!

It also evaporates the flavors/oils. Have you ever noticed your eyes burning when cooking with hot peppers? Add spices and salt after food is cooked or let the person who eats it add it to taste. One of the worst things you can do, say to fried fish, is put so much salt in the coating that you can`t eat it, plus you waste salt. If I add salt it isn`t in the cornmeal I coat it in. I like dipping my fried fish in ketchup or a sauce and use that as the salt source. Rice cookers, especially smaller ones, are great low wattage cooking tools for using with tiny portable solar power stations. Many are below 300w and work with the small budget battery packs for cooking a wide variety of foods.

Early model vehicles will be mostly unaffected. The radio/headlights/locks likely won't work anymore. But the vehicle will still turn on and run. They also make things you can put in any car to shield them. And plenty of people have shielded garages. And some companies make vehicles specifically for outlasting an EMP. (I.E. Rezvani)

It should be said (I missed it if it was) no one really knows what an EMP will do to everything, of course the grid or parts of it will likely go down, but there is no telling what it will do to modern cell phones, cars, generators and other medium to small electronics like fridges. For all we know they will be completely unharmed, or everything with the simplest circuit board could be fried, we just don't know for sure. But these are some good steps regardless.

Greetings from Tennessee. I hope you and your family made it through the fires okay. I'm still think you need to do a show on the difference between a bug out bag and a get home bag, which in my opinion are two very different things.

😮My sister canned the meat in her freezer on the barbeque when they lost power.

If you are stuck in a city or suburb, depending on the situation that caused the EMP, follow the 12/24 rule. Take 12 hours to gather up necessary resources and be gone from that area by the 24 hour mark. The first 12 hours will be your best chance to get around and stock up on supplies as most people will be scratching thier heads trying to "figure out" what's happened. Around hour 12 is when some will start to get wise and start to the situation, but will remain hopeful that the power is still going to be restored. Things will start to degrade and by the 24 hour mark people will go into full panic mode. The second the grid goes down, law and order will be a thing of the past, but it will take a little while for the average Joe to figure that out.. it's best to be as far away from a populated area as you can before they do.

I'm pretty sure only vehicles prior to 1980 would have a chance of being operational. Anything with electronic fuel injection will be toasted. Might want to confirm your vehicle status.

I'm curious if our solar energy items will also not work...

Great video and for an EMP, I agree. I think cyber attack on the grid is more likely because it can be held hostage or, in the worse case, it can be restored easily after a successful invasion. I think THIS and solar stuff (see David voght and solar observers) is the most imminent threat….

Something else that happened during the Carrington Event was it messed with railway signaling systems. They say that it is theoretically easier to turn a green signal red, but, that a smaller solar storm can turn a green signal red easier than the other way round power-wise. They were not able to determine which way was absolutely more likely to occur. I also heard that there were reports of wooden railway sleepers catching on fire during the event. Telegraph operators were able to continue operating their telegraphs with the batteries DISCONNECTED...and some were able to communicate EASIER than they normally could. They didn't have wireless in 1859, but if they had, I can imagine the skip would have been just IMMENSE!

Another great video with important information. Thank JR. I do have an EMP question. With all of the arcing associated with EMPs, is there a good chance that we could see a lot of house fires?

@diypreppertv

It’s possible, but would probably depend on several factors. A worst case scenario would be a house right under the EMP with bad wiring inside the house and poorly maintained utility equipment outside. If it’s dry outside, that wouldn’t help either of sparks start dropping from lines or transformers onto dead grass.

For those of you on city sewer. Look into installing a “back water valve”

Probably need to turn off at the main valve by your meter. By that time contamination will have entered your system.

In an apartment complex, people may be watching to see who actually throws garbage out...to scavange whether for something to burn for fuel or food scraps...and to see who had food they have been eating. Also scarey that people may use candles for a light source.

I have jugs I filled with water and have kept in my basement. It’s not to drink, it’s so we can use to flush our toilet or to clean dishes. As far as drinking water, I bought water and I have the drinking straws.

I’m not worried when one happens because my car, house and solar system is already hardened. It can take a direct strike and how do I know that because I built a EMP strong enough to test several theories so let it come. : ) More than 40 years experience in engineering has some advantages.

Okra---- a favorite vegetable difficult to find (even frozen) in my area. It was heartwarming to see it there in amongst the chilis. With a spread like that, what could be better after SHTF than a steaming bowl of gumbo? You can forage for the file. And maybe some crawfish and fresh water mussels. Venison sausage? You're good to go!

You might want to consider a folding commode chair. Much easier, Imho.

Put proper thermometers into fridges and freezers up front where if needed you can quickly tell the temps of them also keeping a fridge or freezer full helps it stay cold much longer than this that have allot of empty room in them, freeze or store water bottles with expansion room helps keep the appliances cold as well as using less energy to keep them at a proper temp even during normal times.

Thank you

JR, you do a good job on what measures work best. Please consider handicapped. Thanks

If you decide to store freeze dried foods, know that you will need a lot of water to rehydrate them.

Thanks, JR....keep 'em coming!
