I used an old 4 or 5 drawer metal file cabinet. With wrapping items inside with foil. Batteries rotated every 2 years. LED light bulbs, LED flash lights, Solar powered radio, solar cell charger incase any of my solar panels survive. etc. IF the power comes on again you want least loads possible. Also my aluminum siding is grounded. SO about 3 layers not perfect but every layer helps eliminate direct route of the EMF to the circuit. From an Electrical Engineer. PS if there is any pre warning unplug everything as most appliance’s are metal encased. Breakers off. Pray it never happens.

Iphones and money will be in short supply after though…so you’re first in line to cell signals when towers are re-established in the area. A satphone may make more sense though. I think the most important thing to figure out would be protecting a generator and any equipment you need to sustain life (heat, air, food, etc depending on your location). Fuel will eventually run out but it gives you a small jump start on solving problems and protecting your family. Also, flash drives with important pictures/documentation or any guidebooks, etc that you weren’t able to get hard copies of.

In reply to Debra Godby. The Internet was designed so that if there is a localized attack the internet routes around it. But that wont be of any help to you if the explosion occurs in your local area as the Cell Phone masts will have been fried.

So after the emp attack ends, will my iphone be any use if the internet destroyed? Will texting another iphone be possible?

In reply to Jodi. Solar panels in a Faraday cage would work but if it is a manmade attack they would probably hit you agian a month later just to get the prepped.Any thing that uses batteries would have to be recharged reguralry. Having a transmitter would probably alert the wrong people to your location.A reciver is the best idea.
