Types of EMP's

Nuclear EMP: This is caused by a nuclear explosion high up in the atmosphere. It sends out a powerful pulse of energy that can fry electronics over a wide area.

Solar EMP: Sometimes the sun can have big eruptions called solar flares. These can also send out pulses of energy, though they're usually not as strong as nuclear EMPs.

Non-nuclear EMP: This can be caused by certain devices that intentionally generate electromagnetic pulses. They're usually smaller in scale but can still cause damage to electronics nearby.

Now, why is it important to protect your stuff from EMPs?

Imagine if all the electronics in your home suddenly stopped working—no lights, no fridge, no TV, no internet. It would be a big problem! That's why it's a good idea to take precautions, especially for important things like your home's electrical system, your car, and any generators you rely on.

Protecting them usually involves things like shielding them with special materials that can block EMPs or storing them in places that are less likely to be affected, like underground bunkers or Faraday cages (which are basically like big metal boxes that keep out electromagnetic waves).

By doing this, you can help ensure that your electronics stay safe and working, even if there's an EMP event.
