As a result of the chaos, millions would likely die, according to the report titled \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/document\/378714199\/EMP-Report#from_embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Assessing the Threat from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP),<\/a>\u201d from the recently re-established Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe United States \u2014 and modern civilization more generally \u2014 faces a present and continuing existential threat from naturally occurring and man-made electromagnetic pulse assault and related attacks on military and critical national infrastructures. A nationwide blackout of the electric power grid and grid-dependent critical infrastructures \u2014 communications, transportation, sanitation, food and water supply \u2014 could plausibly last a year or longer. Many of the systems designed to provide renewable, stand-alone power in case of an emergency, such as generators, uninterruptible power supplies, and renewable energy grid components, are also vulnerable to EMP attack,\u201d said the 27-page report.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA long-term outage owing to EMP could disable most critical supply chains, leaving the U.S. population living in conditions similar to centuries past, prior to the advent of electric power,\u201d said the July 2017 report provided Secrets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<strong>In the 1800s, the U.S. population was less than 60 million, and those people had many skills and assets necessary for survival without today\u2019s infrastructure. An extended blackout today could result in the death of a large fraction of the American people through the effects of societal collapse, disease, and starvation<\/strong>,\u201d added the executive summary.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EMP Commission Warns Of Year-Long Blackout And A Massive Death Toll A federal EMP commission report warns that even the smallest EMP attack on our grid system would down it for about a year, if not longer.\u00a0 A year-long blackout would certainly be coupled with a massive death toll that would devastate entire populations.
