September 10, 2019—Ignore the Erroneous EPRI EMP Report!

“Critical infrastructure keeps our food fresh, our houses warm, our trade flowing, and our citizens productive and safe. The vulnerability of U.S. critical infrastructure to cyber, physical and electromagnetic attacks means that adversaries could disrupt military command and control, banking and financial operations, the electrical grid and means of communication.” ~President Donald Trump, identifying the most serious existential threats to Americans in his Dec. 18, 2017 National Security Strategy statement Read Full Story

We plan to share lessons learned in our Lake Wylie Pilot Study throughout South and North Carolina and then to the rest of the nation.
