Trump First President To Protect Electric Grid From EMP, Cyberattacks(http://images.tritondigitalcms.com/6616/sites/301/2017/12/20194345/110530692_Power-Lines.jpg)
QuotePresident Trump became the first national leader to call for protecting the U.S electric and communications grid against an electromagnetic attack like one practiced in North Korea.
Deep in his new national security strategy released this week, he made good on a campaign promise to move quickly to make the fixes that proponents have long called for.
Two of the chief advocates, William R. Graham and Peter Vincent Pry, executives of the nation's first Congressional EMP Commission, said in a statement, "President Trump understands, even if everyone in his administration does not, that 'strategic stability' and 'longstanding strategic relationships with Russia or China' are best maintained — not by a policy of mutual vulnerability — but by a policy of 'Peace Through Strength.' Protecting the nation from all missile threats and EMP should be the cornerstone of a 'Peace Through Strength' policy."

Hhhhhmmmm... I find it a little difficult to believe that they will be able to sufficiently harden ALL the major data-centres for all the various business's that form the essential communication/defence/commercial/agricultural/shipping and land transport that service the USA against a Electromagnetic Pulse/Phenomenon -
Talking about cyberwarfare, I cant prove it but I am certain that Blackberry, 02, Santandar, Asda(Walmart UK), British Gas, Scottish Power and others have, over the last 8 years had cyber attacks that rendered their IT systems inoperative for large portions of a weekend & a week I think it was with O2 and Blackberry - IT systems upgrades has been the stock answer for these outages, but a couple of buddies in IT Security at some of the above have quietly acknowledged that it wasn't a upgrade issue - :o ;)

EMP protection is as simple as a Faraday cage around your house. Oddly enough US house built with stucco already have such a cage (though its not connected nor complete) The wire mesh that holds the stucco could be wired to be a Faraday cage,,, then just put ornate bars over doors and windows to complete the circuit :D
