Could the U.S. electrical grid recover from an EMP attack? | Ep. 28

Recent geopolitical events and other natural disasters have shown how reliant we are on electricity, and how vulnerable the power grid can be. Rebuilding the grid following a nightmare scenario such as an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack could take years, so preparation from an individual, town and regional basis can be key to accelerating recovery. We chat about this topic with Dr. William R. Forstchen, author of “One Second After” and other books that explore life in a small town following such an attack.
Guest:
William R. Forstchen, Ph.D., author of “One Second After”, the first of a series of books about what happens to the world following an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack.
Forstchen holds a Ph.D. in history from Purdue University, with a specialization in military history, and has written more than 40 books. One Second After was published in 2009.

I have listened to and then purchased the first 3 books. I talk about them a lot in my presentations. Since I started watching this video yesterday today I stared listening to the 4th book and will buy it. I love the a story line and after book one your characters are set. Many things to learn in preparedness stories. I have been into it since 2009 and I still learn things with every book. Never stop learning, incorporating, training and teaching preparedness. If you prepare for this event you will be prepared for 90% of other disasters.
