The catastrophic effects of an electromagnetic pulse-caused blackout could be preventable, but experts warn the civilian world is still not ready.
Peter Vincent Pry, executive director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security and director of the U.S. Nuclear Strategy Forum, both congressional advisory boards, said the technology to avoid disaster from electromagnetic pulses exists, and upgrading the nation's electrical grid is financially viable.
"The problem is not the technology," Pry said. "We know how to protect against it. It's not the money, it doesn't cost that much. The problem is the politics. It always seems to be the politics that gets in the way."
Russia successfully test-fired an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Tuesday, Fox News confirmed.
The Strategic Rocket Forces launched an RS-12M Topol missile from a region near the Caspian Sea, successfully hitting its target in Kazakhstan.
Defense officials told Fox News the test was "not unexpected" and that "START treaty notification occurred."
Russia is required under the START treaty to notify the U.S. of such tests.
Officials said they got notice of the test launch "days" in advance, in accordance with the treaty.
Earlier this year, the Russian military had announced plans to test around 70 types of rocket and missile weaponry, according to an RIA report.

If extended loss of power(greater than one week) is primary emergency, the main goal (once family is secure) would be to get as far away from any nuclear power plant or spent fuel storage facility as possible.
Then find as safe a place as possible for friends and family, trying to ensure they all understand the danger posed
by such a scenario.
In a matter of hours any operating reactor will have a core melt down and explode, in a matter of days, any spent fuel pools would boil off their water, begin to melt and explode also.
If this scenario plays out, anyone living on the surface is toast after a few generations.
In other words, game over man...
Make sure to mark these on your physical maps, draw a radius of at least 100 miles, take prevailing winds into account to plan routes.

1. THEY have repeatedly advertised that they believe in
USING CHAOS to raise a NEW ORDER on the ashes of the old.
2. Clearly they believe they have sufficient power and control in sufficient ways and places and degrees to even manage chaos. Of course, their arrogance is of paragon heights, too.
3. They HAVE, evidently, been doing controlled burns in a long list of ways for decades. Witness the emphasis and fierce defense of abortion, homosexuality, chemicals in food and the environment etc.
4. Personally, I think a LOT more of them will be exterminated in their plush underground cities than they could ever imagine. Time will tell.
A tremendous change occurred with the industrial revolution: whereas it had taken all of human history until around 1800 for world population to reach one billion, the second billion was achieved in only 130 years (1930), the third billion in less than 30 years (1959), the fourth billion in 15 years (1974), and the fifth billion in only 13 years (1987).

GIVEN THAT CHAOS IS AN ALMOST IMMEDIATE RESULT OF A DECENT SIZED EMP BOMB/MISSILE . . . CHAOS IS A MAJOR FACTOR AND ISSUE OF THE OP

Reads like some illogical to irrational assumptions, to me.
1. Just because the NWO blokes have not created utter chaos ACCORDING TO YOUR PERSONAL AND ARBITRARY TIMELINE FOR THEM, you seem to assume they aren't doing so; about to do so; or planning to do so.
2. You seem to assume that their population reduction controlled burns are non-existent or ineffective because they have not . . .
--matched your arbitrary personal timeline for them.
--matched your arbitrary personal benchmarks for levels of success for them
As to chaos and the globalist puppet masters and their plans . . .
