PHOTOS – THE EMP THREAT – ICON LECTURE MAY 17, 2016
ICON presented a powerful lecture given by Dr. James Carafano on The EMP (Electro Magnetic Pulse) Threat on Tuesday, May 17, 2016 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Dr. Carafano is a leading expert on national security and foreign policy challenges and is the Heritage Foundation’s Vice President for Heritage’s entire defense and foreign policy team.
An Emp attack against our country will be devastating as our electrical grid system will be damaged and the electronics in our cars, planes, computers, and hand- held devices will not be operable. Hospitals, police, fire and rescue stations will not be able to respond and our money supply will be curtailed as banks will not be able to conduct any business without electricity. And the worst, with communication capability down, we won’t be able to reach out to our loved ones to find out if they are safe. There will be massive deaths – medical devices such as pacemakers will no longer operate, medications will be unavailable and within a week or so, our food supply will be drastically affected which will result in starvation of masses of people.
What is our government doing to protect our electrical grid since this threat has been known to exist for many years? Tragically, very little. It is now up to us, as citizens, to make our concerns about this threat known to our government (both state and national) and demand that they begin to harden our electrical grid system. Their not protecting us is gross negligence.
