With regards to getting home and/or evacuating - I have ordanance survey maps and a compass in my car. If the sat nav fails, I have a backup navigation method. I have also gone for drives to areas I have never been to, and then worked back home using the maps to practice. This is worth doing; as before I got the maps - I have gotten into situations where the roads I know have been unexpectedly closed and I have found myself diverted down back roads in the countryside with no GPS or phone signal at dusk with not much petrol in the tank. Horrible feeling being lost - do yourself a favour and don't let it happen to you.

I have a basic three step approach to determining if we have been hit with an EMP. 1. The lights go out unexpectedly: 2. Check your phone, If it's not working; 3. Check if your vehicles start. If they do not, there's a very good chance there was an EMP given all of these electrical/electronic devices have suddenly and simultaneously stopped working.

It could also be a Geomagnetic storm which we are overdue for.

EMP will not affect your vehicle. It takes a long antenna to accept an EMP. The electrical grid is for sure at risk, but small appliances, vehicles, and the like will not burn out from an EMP.

[@tpokmedia7828]

Most vehicles are safe from an EMP, most not all but most. If the electronic device you are relying upon has an LCD or a UI to be able to access modes and functionality you better make sure it is un a faraday cage. Small appliances like a CPAP machine are relatively safe because they do not have a UI to them or are still using analog switches. Things like a solar generator that have the digital display and are reliant upon a small processor to track voltage regulation and such are definitely not.

For chest freezers, placing 2 or 3 folded blankets on top of the freezer, covering the entire surface within a couple hours of the power going out can increase the time before things start to melt. We managed to keep the contents of our very full freezer frozen for 4.5 days without power during a September snowstorm in 2014. While it may not help with a major EMP, it can certainly help with shorter emergencies.

I had a certified plumber come out to our house yesterday to install a back flow valve in our sewage clean out pipe so that no sewage would enter our house if the situation got that bad. Since we live on a hill, he was honest and said that although he'd love to charge me $1,800.00 to install it, we really didn't need one. He said the houses at the bottom of the hill need one. He looked at our street and said the sewage will force the lid off the manhole cover and will flow downhill towards the houses down there. There really wasn't any way it would ever flow back into our house. I also asked him about the inflatable ball that can be inserted in the sewage clean out pipe and he said by the time you realize you need it, it will be too late and sewage will already be in your house. I absolutely loved this video and got so much useful information from it. THANK YOU!!!

It should be said (I missed it if it was) no one really knows what an EMP will do to everything, of course the grid or parts of it will likely go down, but there is no telling what it will do to modern cell phones, cars, generators and other medium to small electronics like fridges. For all we know they will be completely unharmed, or everything with the simplest circuit board could be fried, we just don't know for sure. But these are some good steps regardless.

If you are stuck in a city or suburb, depending on the situation that caused the EMP, follow the 12/24 rule. Take 12 hours to gather up necessary resources and be gone from that area by the 24 hour mark. The first 12 hours will be your best chance to get around and stock up on supplies as most people will be scratching thier heads trying to "figure out" what's happened. Around hour 12 is when some will start to get wise and start to the situation, but will remain hopeful that the power is still going to be restored. Things will start to degrade and by the 24 hour mark people will go into full panic mode. The second the grid goes down, law and order will be a thing of the past, but it will take a little while for the average Joe to figure that out.. it's best to be as far away from a populated area as you can before they do.

[@cherylmockotr]

12/24 is a good rule, but there won't be any way to travel anywhere except by bicycle or on foot... unless you're one of the very rare people who own an operational pre-80's vehicle that happens to have a full gas tank.

For long-term food security, pressure canning. You can preserve non-acid foods like meat and vegetables for a year or two. You can preserve fully finished meals like chili, curries, and soups. For bugging out, you can save money by storing meal replacement powders/bars instead of investing in MREs or other emergency rations which can be costly. We use a vegan protein powder as it has more nutrients than regular protein powders, and more protein than regular meal replacement powders.
