Happy to talk about this if you like!

> But based on the post, it seems that your threat model is off. The biggest threat of an EMP blast won't be your electronics acting up, but it would be the critical high voltage transformers being taken offline. These transformers have a lead time of months. Weeks in the best-case scenario.

I agree with you that long-term blackouts are the largest impact in an EMP situation and I should have said something along those lines in my post. I've been thinking a lot about backup power already, and part of what I was looking at in the post is whether I need to take extra steps to protect my backup power options from an EMP (it seems to me I really don't.)
