EPRO EMP Handbook

The idea of a massive EMP strike disrupting electronic infrastructure across the globe does sound scary – you may have even seen it portrayed in books, movies, and television. But, don’t be fooled as they are far from a sci-fi fiction doomsday scenario. In fact, natural EMPs have indeed caused debilitating EMP interferences in the past and could always strike again. 

You may be thinking: well, we survived in the past, so what’s different now? 

The short answer? Everything. 

Our reliance on electricity for the normal functioning of the world and critical infrastructures is at an all-time high – this means that any sufficiently powerful EMP (natural or artificial) can temporarily deactivate the electronic devices we rely on so heavily. And, if extremely energetic, these devices might even suffer permanent damage. 

In other words, a powerful EMP could knock out major electrical power grids for weeks or even months. 

So, what can we do? 

To start, learn what steps we need to take to secure our future. And you can do this by downloading our ERPO EMP Handbook!

“Leading power companies and their partners (including government regulators) are investing in prudent, prioritized measures to reduce their EMP vulnerabilities and enable effective restoration following an EMP-induced large-scale power outage.

This Handbook captures and shares their emerging best practices, providing a comprehensive menu of the best options to accomplish these protection and restoration goals, along
with a summary of the most recent EMP research and testing results.”

Alternatively, purchase our handbook on Amazon to discover our peer-reviewed analysis, recommendations, and practical, implementable best practices for bolstering resilience against Black Sky hazards.

Together, we can work to secure our future.

 

Heatwaves Are the New Cyberattacks: How Extreme Heat Overloads Critical Infrastructure

Heatwaves now act like system-level attacks on infrastructure. They simultaneously increase demand and reduce performance, pushing energy, water, transport, and communications systems toward overload and cascading failure. Unlike cyberattacks, they cannot be stopped, only managed through resilience and coordination. Heatwaves Are No Longer Just Weather We still tend to treat heatwaves as environmental events. They […]

From Missiles to Malware: How Modern Wars Target Grid Security

Modern conflict increasingly unfolds across two parallel arenas: the physical battlefield and the digital domain. While missiles, drones, and precision strikes remain visible components of warfare, a second layer of conflict often unfolds through cyber operations and infrastructure disruption. In this evolving landscape, grid security has emerged as a critical concern. Electric power systems underpin […]

When Truth Becomes a Risk: How Misinformation Threatens Crisis Response and Infrastructure Resilience

In every crisis, whether a cyberattack, natural disaster, or infrastructure failure, information moves faster than operations. Decisions are made in minutes, public behavior shifts in seconds, and trust becomes the invisible system holding everything together. But today, truth itself is under pressure. Misinformation spreads faster than verified facts. AI-generated deepfakes blur the line between real […]
