You are using the term "EMP" and have talked about an EMP of a singular magnitude and a blackout.
What about a solar mass ejection? What is the difference between SME and EMP?

SME can create EMP, like a bomb can too. But the diference is that a SME free an enourmous amount of charged particule in the solar wind on the form of plasma. We artificially create high energy plasma beam following some Tesla's patends. SME occurs frequently and when it reaches Earth, it interact with our magnetosphere, it can disrupt electronic components in satellites, but will not affect large wired AC power components. It mostly affect the magnetosphere.
Now, if we are on the verge of being blasted by such a powerful SME that can cause devastating catastrophe on Earth, I don't think there is much to do as preventing action a part from going underground into metal boxes. And if it causes Earthquake or Tsunami, being underground is the last place to go. Better be in high places and cope with the energy coming. I do not think it will come to that. The sun is a sentient being like Earth and all that is...
