They should have already been doing this.....
They been talking about preparing for such events but that's all it's been including this administration, just talk. Most of equipment that's been provided is only for temporary situation, the power companies already stated it's too costly to harden the grid without the government financial support and that where it's been stuck since the late nineties.

The protective measures taken to harden facilities against a nuclear attack also help in some cases to protect against EMPs.
Exactly, the only thing this and most government concern themselves with is what new wine goes best with caviar.
so the sun giveth and taketh...and we can only live in between.
That is a good point. Without all the electronic distractions of today, hell, people might even start to talk to each other again! Just out of boredom, teenagers may start to work on things around the home. Can't you just imagine the possibilities?I'm thinking I would get a lot more work done around here, with no power no body goes to work and that means I will have a full crew. Always a silver lining
Most, if not all of us here try to prepare for the unexpected in life. This is a tough one to prepare for. If the grid goes down for an extended period it would be devastating to life in the US. Most are so pampered and spoiled they would be hard pressed to survive. Even within the prepping community it would be a tough adjustment. I just hope we keep dodging this bullet for at least a few more years.
