I’m going to level with you in this one: I’m not exactly a person who is preparing for ye olde “zombie apocalypse.” While it’s certainly a creepy, cataclysmic scenario, I’m thinking that an apocalyptic event concerning the infected undead just doesn’t seem to be a viable possibility.

And I think that Hollywood might have something to do with our worries, but I digress.
However, if we were to consider which cataclysms have their candy-apple-red warheads, pointed squarely in our direction, then we arrive at a few very different conclusions.

For instance, we’ve talked about EMPs in previous posts, because it seems to carry a very high likelihood that one might just be headed our way in the future, and shut down the power grid for months or years. So what is an EMP?

An EMP, or electromagnetic pulse, is an energy wave of electrons that can be emitted unidirectionally or omnidirectionally. When this pulse comes into contact with electronic devices, it essentially overloads their more delicate components and fries their circuit boards. In fact, you can even hop on YouTube and build your own small EMP device that will emit a blast to completely wipe out electronic devices as large as … well, a small desk clock.

However, let’s just say that the EMP devices we should be worried about have the potential to wipe out a couple billion desk clocks. Who possesses such devices? Well, for one, governments that have nuclear arsenals. And that’s just another reason why hearing about Russian or North Korean threats of WWIII gets my dander up.

How Would an EMP Be Delivered?
A nuke will blast a massive EMP, which will wipe out any electronic devices that are presently plugged in to the power grid, along with anything that has an exposed three-foot antenna. At which point, we’ll have to re-adopt the Pony Express as the most viable form of sending a text.

Basically, 99.99 percent of all electronically dependent devices will be rendered useless. We’ll have no way to communicate, no water treatment, no medical assistance, no economic supply chains, and emergency services will be dead in the water without the ability to coordinate rescue and crime-stopping operations…..More Here
