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.

 

What the Iberian Blackout Revealed About Global Grid Failure Risk

On April 28, 2025, over 10 million people across Spain, Portugal, and parts of France experienced a sudden and widespread power loss. A rare atmospheric anomaly destabilized more than 2,000 kilometers of high-voltage transmission lines, leading to a cascading grid failure—crippling regional infrastructure and exposing critical weaknesses in Europe’s electric grid. This was not just […]

The Hidden Web of Critical Infrastructure: Why Resilience Planning is A Must

Modern civilization rests on a fragile and interwoven network of lifeline services—electricity, water, transportation, communications, healthcare, finance, and food supply.  These critical infrastructures are not isolated silos but elements in a living, breathing, and highly dynamic system. Each service depends on others to function, often in hidden, nonlinear, and deeply complex ways. The more connected […]

Zero Day: The Silent Threat to Global Infrastructure Resilience

Imagine waking up to find entire cities without power, financial systems offline, and communication networks eerily silent — all without warning. No storms. No earthquakes. Just… darkness. This isn’t science fiction. It’s the real-world risk posed by Zero-Day vulnerabilities to critical infrastructure. At EIS Council, we believe understanding the invisible threats is just as important […]
