Catastrophic: Hedge fund billionaire Paul Singer warns of EMPImminent: Only a matter of time until entire electric grid destroyed by natural or man-made event Billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Singer is warning investors and more broadly, lawmakers and leaders about the potential destructive power of an electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, which could be triggered by solar events or artificially, via blasts in the atmosphere. According to Singer, research shows that no other incident, including a nuclear bomb, has the potential for such wide-scale devastation, coupled with the relative likelihood of occurring. While a nuke would primarily impact on the location of a such (such a city), an EMP could occur globally or across large-scale regions, wreaking havoc on the entire electric grid and devices. CNBC reported: The Center for Security Policy, along with other officials, have similarly warned: Government agencies, such as NASA and Homeland Security, have taken some preliminary steps towards preparing for an EMP attack regardless of the potential for natural of man made causes but the public at large remains cripplingly unaware of the dangers present to modern life, and its reliance on all things electronic, digital and, thus, transient. We reported in August 2013 on then Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitanos claim that a collapse of the grid was an imminent if not when scenario unsettling, whatever ones read on the looming government agendas at work. What You Can Do: Preparing for the Worst The prolific writer Michael Snyder, warning that an impending EMP event that could bring down the entire grid is only a matter of time, outlined some steps that individuals can take to prepare, protect their devices, and plan for adjustments to life off the grid, which could take months or even years to repair in some areas. In short, consider your own reliance on electronic banking, credit/debit cards, ATMs, heating, lights, Internet/TV/radio, phones, ATMs, gas/fuel, and government/commerce at large. With this in mind, hedge your preparation for emergencies with as much physical currency, food, fuel, candles, water as you can reasonably store/save up, as one would for other emergencies. Also, with some planning, you can create Faraday cages and bags to shield electronics (perhaps backup units and parts) from damage. You can convert such common objects as metal trash cans into safe storage areas, but it must be done in advance.
