Description
Most of what you've read in apocalypse fiction and the internet about EMP & CME effects is wrong. It'll still most likely be TEOTWAWKI, but the details of how that initially unfolds will be very different. What would really happen?
This heavily sourced guide focuses on worst case scenario effects from optimized electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attacks that cover regional or continental areas, and strong coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that cover from a region up to the entire planet. This includes discussing how EMPs and CMEs create the effects they do, identifying similarities and differences, and providing accurate and practical descriptions of their effects. We will also cover common misconceptions and touch on deterrence.
In the mid- to long-term effects of a powerful EMP or a CME remain grim; cascading power grid failures and loss of most communications, leading to a crippled transportation system and economy, dwindling food, fuel, and other supplies, and the loss of rule of law, resulting in societal collapse. However, in the short-term, there will be many more working vehicles and electronic devices after an EMP than normally portrayed in fiction. CMEs can destroy the power grid but have no effect on vehicles or portable electronic devices.
This is intended for apocalypse fiction authors and readers who desire realistic and accurate descriptions of EMP and CME effects, and for anyone who wants to know what can be expected should these events occur.
