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.

Most vehicles are safe from an EMP, most not all but most. If the electronic device you are relying upon has an LCD or a UI to be able to access modes and functionality you better make sure it is un a faraday cage. Small appliances like a CPAP machine are relatively safe because they do not have a UI to them or are still using analog switches. Things like a solar generator that have the digital display and are reliant upon a small processor to track voltage regulation and such are definitely not.

With regards to getting home and/or evacuating - I have ordanance survey maps and a compass in my car. If the sat nav fails, I have a backup navigation method. I have also gone for drives to areas I have never been to, and then worked back home using the maps to practice. This is worth doing; as before I got the maps - I have gotten into situations where the roads I know have been unexpectedly closed and I have found myself diverted down back roads in the countryside with no GPS or phone signal at dusk with not much petrol in the tank. Horrible feeling being lost - do yourself a favour and don't let it happen to you.

For chest freezers, placing 2 or 3 folded blankets on top of the freezer, covering the entire surface within a couple hours of the power going out can increase the time before things start to melt. We managed to keep the contents of our very full freezer frozen for 4.5 days without power during a September snowstorm in 2014. While it may not help with a major EMP, it can certainly help with shorter emergencies.

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!!!

If your children are at school, their first plan , in an emergency is to put the children on school busses and take them to a central location for parents to pick them up. With no bus transport available, I suspect that they will hold the children at the school until someone picks them up. A friend of mine has told his daughter to "escape" and make her way to a pre chosen safe waypoint.

@baneverything5580 2 ай бұрын

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.

The best general prepper advice I've seen was a family that went "off grid" one weekend a month. The mental stress of a total expected change can be devastating. If you've practiced it, the stress is almost nonexistent.

Get a stout cardboard box. Have a few small pillows (strong material) filled with foam chips. Bring one pot for the family to a boil by whatever means with you foodstuff inside the pot. Put the lid on the pot, pot inside the cardboard box with the pillows below, around and on top of the pot. Place close fitting cardboard lid on the box. End result is a complete cooked meal.

@diypreppertv 3 ай бұрын

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.

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!

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.

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.
