Powering Through "From Fragile Infrastructures To Community Resilience

Description

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.
