We Take Electric Power for Granted. Threats to Our Electric Grid are Real. Here's How to Prepare. (See back cover below for Endorsements.) Powering Through is an action guide and contains, for the first time, a comparison of critical infrastructures that can suffer long duration outages caused by five high impact threats: high altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP); solar geomagnetic storms; cyber-attacks; physical attacks; and Radio Frequency(RF) weapons. We are accustomed to short duration power failures. However, disruptions of weeks, months, or over a year are more and more possible, yet this risk is largely unrecognized. The book examines the interdependent, and critical, infrastructures that would be threatened by a sustained electric grid failure, such as our water and wastewater systems, communications, transportation, emergency and healthcare services, government and military defense, to name only a few. Importantly, the book concentrates on consequence management, starting at the individual, household, and community levels of preparedness. This book heralds a call to action to begin preparing NOW. There are five additional authors: William Kaewert, David Hunt, John Contestabile, John Rosica, Mark Walker. Proceeds from the book are being used by the InfraGard EMP SIG™ for further research.
