One scenario which comes up often is a terrorist nuke attack or any nuclear attack.
With a nuke comes the EMP which renders anything electronic useless.
I don't know a whole lot about EMPs and I'm hoping someone can fill me in on the short and long term effects of an EMP. I know that my communication equipment is critical as is my GPS and vehicles. I've always wanted to build my own Faraday box but I don't know how much one would cost or how exactly to build one.
I live over 60 mi from NYC, 10 or so miles from Hartford CT, 45mi from New Haven CT and 25 or so miles from Springfield MA. I don't know what the effective radius of an EMP from lets say a 10KT nuke is. If a 10KT nuke hit NYC, would I be in the clear?
Has anyone here built a Faraday box?
To you, how high of a threat do you consider a nuclear attack by terrorists in the form of a dirty bomb?
Are the effects of an EMP permanent?
